Isaiah 63:7

Embracing radical kindness in our families, workplaces, and social interactions requires we sacrifice something: our energy, our time, or our pride. But, as we explore in this devotional from Ashlee Eiland, it is always worth it. Because God sees us, we can see one another. We can express a humility and gentleness not of this world. And together, through humankindness, we can point each other to the heart of God.

Do you feel inadequate showing compassion to the hurting, or those different from you? Do you long for the opportunity to teach your children compassion but struggle to find a way? Beginning with God’s Word and Jesus’ example will help. Compassion is mentioned over and over in Scripture, depending on which translation you are reading. Let’s look together to see how compassion and mercy are callings for us all.

Emotions—love them or hate them—we’ve all got them. And we’ve all got to figure out what to do with them. But wait. Can we do anything about emotions? Can we learn how to identify, express, experience—and yes, sometimes wrangle—our feelings in order to live a vibrant, healthy life for Jesus? These devotions will equip you with the Biblical perspectives and practical tools you need to thrive.
