Day 8: Extending Compassion to the Vulnerable
When Jesus looked upon those who were hurting, oppressed, poor and marginalized, what did He feel? The gospels testify to His concern for those that were ostracized by the masses. He healed the sick, fed the hungry and met many physical needs. He has called His people to live life out of the overflow of the love that we experience from God himself.
