S- We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion - how can God's love be in that person? Dear children let's not merely say that we love each other let us show the truth by our actions. Our actions will show that we belong to the truth so we will be confident when we stand before God. Even if we feel guilty God is greater than our feelings and he knows everything.
O - Actions speak louder than words. Compassion is an action not a passive thought towards someone. Our actions prove to the world and other believers that we are living in Christ. I also love the phrase God is greater than our feelings and knows everything.
A - Compassion is a trait I have been thinking about a lot since this summer when I really learned what compassion was. However, I haven't put my feelings into full action yet. I'm still praying that the Holy Spirit will open my eyes to all the small and big things he wants me to put into action.
Sometimes I let my feelings be greater than God in my mind. That has to stop because he knows everything!
P - Lord give me a compassionate heart. One that always thinks about others needs before my own. Help me to put that compassion into action to bring others to you.
