Mark 6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

Thought for the Day: Needs Require A Response

Reflection for the Day: Compassion Is A Powerful Force

Recognizing that his disciples needed a place to rest, Jesus took them into a desert place. They did not remain deserted long, the multitude followed them. Jesus seeing the needs of the multitude was moved with compassion. He taught and then fed them. There was a need and he responded.

As a child of God, there is a spirit within you that drives you to respond to the needs of others. Some needs demand prayer, but others also require a human response. A smile, an encouraging word, can make a difference, as can your willingness to share. As you respond with compassion, lives will be changed.
