Seized with compassion !

Luke 10:33 - But a Samaritan, who was traveling, having come there, was moved with compassion when he saw him.

The world is turned upside down. Everything seems to be going from bad to worse and it is getting worse by the day. We hear about violence, wars, earthquakes, persecutions, kidnapped children, diseases of all kinds... The list is long and we would like to see things change.

We pray for these people on the other side of the world and that is good, we believe that the prayer of the righteous is very effective. Today, however, I would like to focus on our verse : "He was moved with compassion when he saw him." What a strong verse, don't you think ? Moved with compassion ! His entrails, his heart were seized ! It's strong, so strong !

Several texts in the scriptures also tell us about this compassionate shock ! “Seeing the crowd, he was moved with compassion for them” (Matthew 9.36). “When he got out of the boat, he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion for them, and he healed the sick” (Matthew 14:14). “Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him” (Mark 1:41). "The Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her : 'Do not cry !” (Luke 7:13).

This seizure of the heart of God has always been followed by action and the manifestation of the Kingdom. My prayer is : "Lord, hold me with compassion for those whom You place in my path and manifest Yourself !".

Are you ready to say this prayer ?
