Holy scripture of the day about Jesus is moved with compassion for you - Learn more

Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Matthew 9:35-36 NKJV

Quote: “No matter how low down you are; no matter what your disposition has been; you may be low in your thoughts, words, and actions; you may be selfish; your heart may be overflowing with corruption and wickedness; yet Jesus will have compassion upon you. He will speak comforting words to you; not treat you coldly or spurn you, as perhaps those of earth would, but will speak tender words, and words of love and affection and kindness. Just come at once. He is a faithful friend - a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." - Dwight L. Moody

Prayer for today

I’m grateful Lord Jesus for Your heart of love and the ceaseless compassion that You show me day in and day out. I believe my heartbreak becomes Your heartbreak and my suffering becomes Your suffering. Thank You for being the Good Shepherd who watches over me. Holy Spirit, teach me to be a compassionate caregiver to people in the marketplace that are weary and feel alone. Lead me to someone today who is bruised and hurting. Let my compassionate care touch their heart so I have an opportunity to point them to Jesus. Amen
