The Mighty Power Of Compassion

Compassion is more than a feeling—it’s a bridge that connects our heart to someone else’s hurt. It is love in motion, kindness with hands and feet, concern that refuses to stay silent. Compassion doesn’t just notice; compassion steps in.

In a world that can often feel cold, rushed, and distracted, compassion is a light that still breaks through the cracks. And here’s the amazing thing: it doesn’t take much to change someone’s entire day.

A gentle word.

A listening ear.

A moment of understanding.

A small act of kindness that costs us little but means the world to someone else.

Compassion doesn’t ask, “Does this person deserve it?” — compassion asks, “How can I help?”

Jesus showed us the greatest example. Over and over in Scripture it says, “He was moved with compassion.” He didn’t wait for perfect conditions or perfect people. He simply cared, and because He cared, lives were lifted, healed, and restored.

Today, November 26, let this be your reminder: Your compassion is somebody’s miracle.

You have no idea what someone is battling behind their smile. One act of grace from you might be the very encouragement that keeps them going.

Don’t underestimate the power of a soft heart in a hard world.

Speak kindly.

Show patience.

Offer help.

Give grace.

Forgive quickly.

Love deeply.

Compassion doesn’t just change others—it changes you. It softens your spirit, strengthens your character, and draws you closer to the heart of God.

Let your day be marked by compassion, and watch how God uses you to bless others.

11/26–Walking The Walk

Story:

11/26–The emperor Frederick, who ruled the Roman Empire in the 13th century, thought it would be a useful experiment to discover what our original language was — Hebrew, Greek, Latin or whatever. 

So he decided to isolate a few infants from the sound of any human voice. He reasoned that, if so isolated from anything prejudicial, when they spoke, it would be in the universal, natural tongue of the human species.

   

Wet nurses were obtained to care for these infants. But they were sworn to absolute silence and could not engage in any socializing with these infants in any way. 

From the moment they were born, these infants never heard the sound or hum or song of a human. Within a year they were all dead.

(from Earl A. Loomis, Jr. M.D., The Self In Pilgrimage, New York: Harper, 1960, p. 54.)

Humor:

A businessman made an appointment with a local pastor to discuss acquiring the pastor’s services for a funeral. Upon learning the deceased was a dog, the pastor rather sternly asked the man to look elsewhere for help, and lectured the man regarding the dignity of the pastorate.

Before leaving, the man asked the pastor to make his pastor friends aware of the $300 honorarium that he would provide. The pastor quickly responded, “Oh, come back in. You didn’t tell me that you dog was a Christian

Scripture:

Ephesians 4:2-3

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Humor:

We all have our priorities. The story is told of a fellow who had scraped together every penny that he could to buy tickets for the recent Super Bowl. About midway through the game (which the Cowboys won, by the way) he noticed a lone woman seated two rows below him and next to an empty seat.

He could not take it any longer. He made his way to her seat, squatted down so as not to block the view of others (and risk his life), and struck up a conversation. He asked, “Ma’am, whose seat is this?”

She replied, “My husband’s.” The fellow continued, “And where is he – this is the Super Bowl!?”

She moaned, “Oh, he couldn’t make it.” The man replied in disbelief, “This is a $1500 or more seat and he can’t make it? 

Why didn’t you bring a relative instead?” “Well, she explained, “they couldn’t come either – they are all at my husband’s funeral!”

Well, we all have our priorities, do we not?

Bottled water, a concept I thought was utterly ridiculous when I first heard about.  Never happen, I thought.  Why should I buy something coming out at my sink freely? But it did happen, and is happening.  I buy it and people all over the world do.  

Has satan ever presented a thought to you and you thought, never happen….but it did. People have married and never thought trouble would come to their home, but satan worked his way in.He can even take the ridiculous and make it seem like that’s the way it is supposed to be. 

Churches split when harmony and unity flowed like nothing could ever stop it.  Satan is pictured in red suit, with horns, and a tail and a pitchfork.  No, my friend, he is the slickest, smothest salesman of all time!

Story:

11/24–Thot you MITE could use this story. Sister Joyce

RUBY

About 7 years ago I worked with a girl named Ruby. She and I came from very different worlds and didn’t really see eye to eye. I didnt think she liked me, and if I’m being super transparent … I didn’t really like her. If you know me, you know that takes a lot.

I felt in my spirit for about two solid weeks of working with her to invite her to church. I pushed that feeling down deep. She wouldn’t like my church. My church was a baby church plant and had little to offer. She would roll her eyes at me. I knew she would. I knew she wouldn’t accept. I couldn’t ask her to come to church with me. She didn’t even like me. These are the thoughts I battled.

At the end of that two weeks… Ruby, all of 32 years old, dropped dead of a brain aneurysm.

I will carry that weight with me for the rest of my life.

If you wonder why I’m so direct in asking if you’ve been baptized, if you wonder why I don’t waste time in finding out if you feel secure in your salvation, if you wonder where my boldness comes from or why I care so much….

I don’t every want to carry another “Ruby” in my heart again. I don’t ever want to miss my opportunity again. I don’t ever want to make excuses again.

I will answer for Ruby one day.

I don’t want to answer for you, too.

Seize the God moment, friends.

Sometimes you get only one.

Scripture:

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Humor:

A lady had a near death experience the other day when she went horseback riding.

Everything was going fine until the horse started bucking out of control. She tried with all her might to hang on, but was thrown off. With her foot caught in the stirrup, she fell head first to the ground. Her head continued to bounce on the ground as the horse did not stop or even slow down. Just as she was giving up 

hope and was losing consciousness, the Wal-Mart manager came out and unplugged it.
