Encourage Someone Today!
"The Lord is very
compassionate and merciful."
James 5: 11
When COVID-19 spread across the world and kept
people apart from each other, Girl Scouts in hard-hit
New Rochelle, New York, made a humongous banner.
It said, “We Support Our Neighbors: #NewRoStrong.”
A woman in Cornwall in the U.K. created a postcard
that said, “Hello! If you are self-isolating, I can help.”
An entire street in Italy erupted in song as quarantined
neighbors stuck heads from windows and sang together.
In Australia, Woolworths created special hours for
elderly and disabled shoppers to restock supplies.
A church in Alabama administered
testing kits for their community.
In China, Christian volunteers
handed out facemasks.
All around the world, countless acts of compassion bring
people together even though they couldn’t literally come
together. National and global catastrophes have a way of
bringing out the best in people, for our Creator is a God of
compassion—a bit of that remains even in fallen humanity.
Those of us who are His children have the Spirit
of compassion living in us, so let’s lead the way.
Who can you encourage today?
"You have not lived today until you have
done something for someone who can
never repay you."
John Bunyan
