Compassion Deepened
Vulnerability & Power
Scripture
Colossians 3:12
“Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”
Devotion
October's harsh conditions remind you that others struggle too. The homeless face the coming cold. The lonely face darkness. The grieving face loss. Scripture teaches compassion as response to others' struggle. In October, let hardship build compassion. Let your struggle help you understand others' struggle. Offer warmth.
Today’s Step
Whose struggle can you compassionately address? How will you offer warmth?
Prayer
God, help me to clothe myself with compassion. Help me to see others' struggle. Help me to offer what warmth I can.
