Compassion

Over the last several months I have been put in many different places/situations where I know God has wanted to use me. I have not been obedient in all situations and for that I am sorry, but the times I have been obedient have opened my eyes to the people around me. I realize that there are many people who's world is crumbling around them and they stand there with a smile on their face or a hand outstretched to someone else when they themselves are in need. They are dying inside, yet you or I would have no idea. I pray that God forgive me for not being obedient and that I have his eyes to see those who need his love and compassion.

I am so blessed. My husband still has a job, I have a healthy family, and we have all that we need. I need to be there with my hand outstretched to those that need it, I need to have my shoulder available for people to cry on, my ears available to listen, and my mouth filled with the love, peace, hope, forgiveness, and compassion of our Lord and Savior.

Great post. Truth be told I think we are all guilty of this at times.
