Compassion for Others
If you would know the measure of your love for God, just observe your love for your fellowman. Our compassion for others is an accurate gauge of our devotion to God.
Some time ago, with some friends, I went through a museum in San Francisco. Among other things, we saw a collection of instruments of torture which were employed by religious people to force other people to believe as they did. History is largely the record of man’s inhumanity to man.
Daily Prayer
Lord God, fill my heart that I may love with the compassion of Jesus.
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.”
1 John 4:7 ESV
“And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.”
1 John 4:21 ESV
