Compassion

 1 Peter 4:10  As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.

The definition of compassion is: “a feeling of deep sympathy or sorrow for another who is stricken with misfortune, accompanied by the strong desire to alleviate the suffering.”

Matthew 14:14 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

Mark 6:34 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and  he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:11-14 

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.

 

" Be an encourager, a healer, one who helps restore the years the locust has eaten"

"I will restore to you the years the swarming locus has taken," says the Lord in Joel 2:25.
