Day 4: Compassion Devotional

Devotional: One often overlooked aspect of compassion is showing compassion towards God. This means aligning our hearts with His and feeling His burdens. When we ask God what hurts Him and what we can do, we are participating in His work on earth. This deepens our relationship with Him and makes our compassion more genuine and impactful.

Verse: Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’ – Ezekiel 33:11

Question: How can you align your heart with God’s and feel His burdens more deeply?

Quote: What greater privilege is it to say, I can feel God’s burden, I can do something about God’s pain.

Prayer: Father, help me to feel Your burdens and align my heart with Yours. Show me how I can participate in Your work and extend Your compassion. Amen.
