Have you ever stopped to think “What is the difference between Compassion vs. Pity?” Both are emotions that someone may feel from time to time. Both result in a feeling, and both are real enough to make you ponder what other people must be going through.
The difference between compassion and pity is simple... Compassion does something about it!
Check out these scriptures about Jesus:
Mat 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Mat 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
Mat 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Mar 6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
Ask yourself the question. “When you see people going through a particularly tough situation, do you just pity them from a distance, or are you MOVED with compassion to help?”
Just a thought today...
God Bless
