COMPASSIONATE GOD

Palm Sunday

PSALM 3:8 (MSG)
Real help comes from GOD.
Your blessing clothes your people!


MATTHEW 9:35 (CEV)
Jesus went to every town and village. He taught in their meeting places and preached the good news about God’s kingdom. Jesus also healed every kind of disease and sickness.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's compassion flows through Jesus.

PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for the gift of Jesus into the world -- into my life. Through him, your compassion is clearly revealed. I want to carry on with his work but I'm driven by my self-interests and they get in the way of seeing the hurt in the lives of others. Tame the self-focus and give me compassionate eyes so that I can see how to proclaim the good news and extend healing to whoever needs it. Amen.
