Compassion Acts
The world is desperate for help. According to recent studies, seventy-five percent of the world’s population lives in poverty. Approximately fifty percent of the world’s population is female. Women suffer more from poverty than men. Forty percent of the world’s population consists of children. They are the ones who suffer more than all others. In fact, over one billion children are at risk today, and many have become victims of extreme poverty, homelessness, the loss of their parents, child labor, abuse, slavery, sexual exploitation, AIDS and other illnesses, and the effects of war and religious persecution.
In certain parts of the world, orphaned children are conscripted into armies, where they suffer physical, sexual, and mental abuse. They are forced to carry guns and trained to kill. At times, the governments involved are willing to “sell off” numbers of these children to ease their financial situations.
Sometimes it can be quite easy to read the words but not engage our hearts in the reality of what they mean. If those children were our children, or those people our family, don’t you think our attitude would be different? I know mine would. That is what the Lord wants to do––to enlarge our hearts to such a degree that “they” become “our family.” They are His kids, the love of His heart, and we just don’t seem to get it or care. When will we get it? When will we do something about these needs? If there ever was a time for compassion in our world, it is today!
I’m looking for Jesus; I’m waiting for Jesus. But could it be that Jesus is waiting for me? Could it be that as I engage my heart to not only hear the Word of God, but to live the Word to those who do not know Him, Jesus just might come to me? That sounds like the kingdom of God coming on this earth. I want to be a part of establishing God’s kingdom and raising up a whole army of like-hearted loving warriors who have embraced the call to compassion. He is waiting for you. Will you enlist in this army? I pray that your answer is yes, and that you are stirred to action—because compassion acts.
