Have you ever had a friend share something difficult or painful with you? Maybe an injustice that was happening to them? If you have, then you probably felt a lot of feelings in response, like sadness, pain, or hurt on their behalf. That feeling is called compassion. God wants us to care about others so much that we respond to what they face as if we are experiencing it ourselves. God wants us to act compassionately to support, encourage, and help them. That’s part of loving others the way God loves us all.

This week, ask God to give you compassion for others. Whether it’s friends you know or people hurting around the world, pray God would help you care about and support those who need it.
