Matthew 9: 36
When He (Jesus) saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they were faint, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Jesus is moved with compassion by the conditions of men. Jesus, the Son of GOD, saw the need, felt the need and responded with abundance. This is the heart, the feelings, and work of GOD. Love, kindness, joy, gentleness, goodness, faith, patience, peace come from GOD. These are His way of responding to human need. Why does He respond this way, when humankind treats Him so badly? He responds this way, because that is who He is. GOD can not lie; GOD can not go against His nature; GOD keeps His Word, therefore, GOD heals the sick, mends broken hearts, sets captives free, removes heavy burdens and CARES. Compassion is the way of GOD and He calls us to be people of compassion, reaching out to the poor, the sick and the needy. He asks us to be watchful for people who are abandon and hurting. He asks us to feed the hungry; clothe the naked; visit those in prison; heal every wound in His Holy Name.
Let your heart be moved with compassion as you walk the road of life. See need, feel the need in your heart, respond to the need with abundance. In Jesus Name.
