Hebrews 13:3
I like this because it is basically telling us to empathize and feel compassion for other people's challenges, as though they were our own. ... I think that is what Christ did and does for all of us, and though it is a challenging thing to put into practice, for sure, it is also something that teaches us how to love. Getting to know people well enough that we can understand their pain and their fears is something that I imagine would be very, very hard to do without also learning to love them.
Today let's remember people that are in bondage, and that are suffering, and let's consider those challenges as though they were our own. Let's learn about other people and think of them as though we ourselves were in a similar situation... and as we work to do that, let's also work to assist people with their challenges and to do what we can to heal others and end their pain. As we do, God will help us, and grant us greater access to his power so that we have an increased ability to make a difference for good in people's lives.
