Compassionate Servants

God's Words commands us to be compassionate and generous to all those who need our support. As believers, we have been richly blessed by our Creator. In turn, we are called to share our gifts, possessions, testimonies, and talents. Concentration camp survivor Corrie ten Boom correctly observed, “The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.” These words remind us that our lives' quality is determined not by what we take from others, but instead by what we share with others. The thread of compassion is woven into the very fabric of Jesus Christ's teachings. If we are to be disciples of Christ, we must be devoted to caring for others. Our Savior expects no less from us. Let us be loving, enthusiastic, encouraging believers. Let the kindness we show others, be a reflection of our love for Christ. — 1 Peter 3:8
