The Gift of Compassion: Reflecting Christ in Every Relationship

At sunset, a compassionate worker offers food and water to a child in a refugee camp, surrounded by other children and makeshift shelters—reflecting Christ’s love through selfless care and kindness.

Compassion

Compassion is more than feeling for someone—it’s active empathy expressed through love and action. Every interaction is an opportunity to mirror Christ’s heart to others.

Jesus was compassionate toward the marginalized, hurting, and lonely. Matthew 9:36 says, “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” When we respond with kindness, patience, and understanding, we reflect the love of Christ. Compassion transforms relationships, fosters healing, and builds community in ways words alone cannot
