S2 E62 - Compassion or Cover Your Ears?

Send us a text

We are getting used to a family of 5 now with the addition of our third child, and of course it is chaos but in a beautiful way. One thing our oldest two are getting used to is how much a newborn cries. On the way home the other night, they each had very different reactions to her ongoing screams in the car. My daughter, in a motherly way, was trying to talk to her sweetly and calm her down. My son? Well, he was covering his ears and telling her to "shhhh". Well...their polar opposite reactions are often the same ones that are displayed by Christians to the needs of others. While Jesus calls for us to respond with action out of love when we see others in need, often we simply cover our ears and look the other way. But my friends, how can we do this, in view of what God has done to address our greatest need? May God give us hearts to respond to the needs of others, not simply ignore them or wish them away.
