Compassion In The Home

Compassion in the Home

Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:32

Think of a family member who has been unkind, critical, or offensive toward you. Practice compassion by putting yourself in their position and then thinking about these questions:

  • How do you think it would feel to be this person?
  • What hardships have they faced in life?
  • How might their own unmet needs impact the way they interact with you?

Reflect on how God has shown you compassion. Spend the next few minutes praying for this person.
