Day 5: Compassion Devotional

Devotional: Compassion is not just a feeling; it’s an action. Jesus bypassed routine and tradition to bring healing and glory to God. We are called to do the same. When we see pain and feel it, we must respond in ways that make a tangible difference. This could be through acts of kindness, words of encouragement, or simply being present for someone in need. Our actions, driven by compassion, bring glory to God and reflect His love to the world.

Verse: Even now, declares the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. – Joel 2:12

Question: What tangible actions can you take today to show compassion and make a difference in someone’s life?

Quote: Jesus bypasses the process of the fake praise, and now he creates praise out of a woman who’s been bounced for 18 years because he saw her pain and she straightens up, and now she’s bringing glory to God.

Prayer: Lord, help me to turn my compassion into action. Show me how I can make a tangible difference in the lives of those around me. Amen.
