John 11
In John 11 it says that Jesus was "moved" twice...once "moved" and then again "deeply moved". For me, this demonstrates not only Jesus compassion but also demonstrates the definition of compassion in terms of how I should be compassionate in my life. It's more than a thought. It is an action. I must have the thought and act on the thought of being moved...the use of the word "move" implies action!
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are all of the fruits of the spirit and then some! You are great beyond what I can attain in terms of my ability to demonstrate these fruits of the spirit...however...I CAN demonstrate these things by allowing the Holy Spirit to move within and through me. This would be amazing and I know this is what I want...I want to demonstrate compassion more in my life...to the point where I act. Yet I continue to hesitate or be lazy...or selfish. Thank You that You love me anyway Jesus but please forgive me. Help me turn from such sin. Help me turn towards You Jesus. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as myself and help me grow in my faith.
Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. “Take away the stone,” he said. v38-39
