“You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.” - Luke 6:36 (NLT)
Hey Lightgliders!
When we recognize how much God loves us, we will love others! We will see others as Jesus sees them - worthy of love and dignity! As we choose to love others through our words and actions, it will affect our hearts. And, as we genuinely feel concern for others in our hearts, we will grow in compassion. Having compassion means that we are tenderhearted toward other people. Through compassion, we place ourselves in their shoes and treat them with love, dignity, and respect. If we understand God’s compassion towards us, we will be compassionate toward others.
Who do you have a genuine concern for? How do you show it? This is compassion. It may look a little different for everyone. We can write notes of encouragement, listen to others’ problems, invite a new friend to sit with us during school lunch, or tell our parents how much we love them. Small acts of compassion make a big difference.
Can you imagine if everyone showed a little bit of compassion every day? It would change the world!
Glide On!
