Love/Hateಮಾದರಿ

Scripture tells us that Jesus was an incredible miracle worker who had the power to heal those in need. When we read stories of the things He did, it’s easy to get caught up in those dramatic moments. But just as important as the physical healings Jesus performed, was the compassion He showed for people who were the socially outcast, lonely, and in need of belonging. And that’s something we can participate in here and now. 

When you choose to be a friend to someone who’s lonely, or offer a kind word to someone who is hurting, or speak up for someone who doesn’t have a voice, or help someone in need—that’s compassion, and it’s a kind of healing too. Healing isn’t always a matter of making sick people well; sometimes it’s about using what you have to offer—the love and peace of God—in the midst of brokenness. Today, identify a way that you can bring peace, help, and healing into the life of someone you know who’s in need.
