Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law. ~ Galatians 6:2 (MSG)
KEY IDEA:
Those who act with compassion are in tune with Christ. Those who do not notice the poor are out of tune with Christ.PRAYER:
Lord, I am so grateful for the way that you have rescued me -- even though I didn't deserve to be rescued. But you are merciful and compassionate. I'm so busy living my life -- the way I want to live it -- that I really don't do a very good job of noticing those who have been nudged to the margins -- those who have been hurt -- those who are poor. Stir again in me the compassion that comes from Christ. If there are things which are blocking me from noticing those in need help me to eliminate the blockages. I'm going to honor Christ -- and live a truly happy life -- by living out his compassion every day. Amen.
