Read:
Jesus gave us the ultimate example of compassion. He noticed people, listened to their stories, and met their needs. And he challenges us to do the same—not so we get credit for being “do-gooders,” but because the way we treat others is a reflection of our relationship with Jesus.
Compassion means we’re moved by what moves God, and generosity is how we act on it. God has given us unique talents and resources that we can use to bless others. So, living this out might look like checking in on a friend who’s going through a hard time, giving your Saturday to serve at a local food bank, or looking for opportunities to bless someone simply because you can.
Ultimately, when you give generously and serve others wholeheartedly, you don’t just change others—you’re changed, too!
Reflect: What’s one generous thing you can do for someone today? Make a plan to do it—and don’t tell anyone about it!
