My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

– 1 John 3:18, NKJV

Compassion is the hallmark of Christ’s ministry on earth. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and comforted the brokenhearted. As believers in the gospel that He preached and followers in His steps, we are called to emulate His example by extending compassion to those in need.

Serving others with love requires a heart that is sensitive to the needs of those around us. It involves going beyond mere sympathy to actively seeking ways to alleviate suffering and meet the needs of others. Whether it’s offering a listening ear to someone in distress, providing practical help to the less fortunate, or simply offering a word of encouragement, every act of compassion reflects the love of Christ.

By serving others with love, we don’t only meet their physical needs but also demonstrate God’s power manifesting through love. Our acts of compassion become a tangible expression of the gospel, drawing others to Christ and glorifying His name. Therefore, let us be mindful of opportunities to show compassion in action. May we be vessels of God’s love, shining His light in a dark and hurting world, and bringing hope and healing to those in need.

Insight: True love is not merely expressed in words but is demonstrated through action; by serving others with genuine love and selflessness.

Prayer: Lord, give us compassionate hearts that are quick to serve and show love to those in need.
