It’s February, and that means it’s time for a new Scripture Writing Plan! Join us this month as we write verses about Compassion. You’ll see this idea all throughout Scripture, from Joseph’s compassion toward his brothers, to Jesus’ compassion on the crowds. You’ll write about God’s compassion toward those who return to him, and you’ll write about the compassion we should have for others.
Interestingly, the phrase to have compassion (splagchnizomai) can mean to have pity or tender mercy, but it can also mean to “be moved to the bowels.”
That’s strong imagery! But the conclusion is inescapable:
Compassion is visceral.
It begins at our core and should motivate us to demonstrate kindness and mercy.
Benevolence that arises from another motivation is not compassion. Self-promotion, perhaps. Self-preservation, even. But never compassion. Likewise, a feeling that produces no action is not compassion.
Our hope is that this month’s Scripture writing will help you delight in the tender mercies of God and translate that into tender mercies toward others.
