MOVED WITH PITY (12-02-13)

Matthew 15:32
“My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat…”

“I do not want to send them away hungry…”

I would sometimes tell my wife whenever we have visitors.  So I would ask her to cook or buy something to eat before they leave.  Or maybe, so that when I visit them, they would also do the same.  Shame on me…

“I do not have spare coins, maybe she can ask from somebody else…”

I would tell my wife whenever a beggar would approach us asking for food or money.  And I would not care if she has not eaten for days, as long as I can eat at my favorite food house.  Shame on me…

For the Lord is different…  Jesus’ heart is moved with pity for everyone.
The hungry…
The sick…
The oppressed…
The lame, the blind…

Jesus’ heart is moved with pity for all of us, for we always put ourselves above everyone else. 

His heart is moved for pity for all of us, because we are hungry for love, sick in spirit, and blind to things that would concern us most.

Let us come back to Him and feed on His Words and let our hearts listen to Him forever.  So our spirit may feel full, and have that attitude to share that same feeling of fullness and joy with others.

Let us pray +

Lord Jesus, indeed, have pity on us. And then may you finding us sharing your compassion with others who need your pity too.  In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen +


I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
