Compassion

Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him. - Matthew 20:34

Sometimes I forget this word, "Compassion". I'm so busy running around that I forget that things aren't just skin deep and that everyone has hurts and pains that don't come through unless you really observe. In the Bible the word compassion is used over and over again. Jesus when he heals or teaches doesn't teach because He just wants to give good information or show His power. He has compassion. Jesus sees us and has compassion on us that there are hurts, scars, and emptiness in our hearts that sometimes we ourselves don't even realize but He comes and slowly starts to mend this brokeness in us so that we may be whole in Him.

I hope that God grows my gifts further and further so that I may be able to see this world the way He sees it. That I may be able to discern the hurts and pains of the people around me and have compassion for them rather than just superficial relationships. There is apart of me still that is still cold and still want people to be the way I expect them to be and I don't take the time to look further into the persons individual life and experience which has grown them to be the way that they are. God give me the eyes to see, the heart to feel, and the mind to understand as you do.
