Compassion
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls (Matthew 11:28β29).
Recently, I attended a leadership conference for work. One of the speakers was a clinical psychologist. He shared with us that after Covid-19, over 40 percent of the population had been diagnosed with a mental health crisis! Prior to Covid-19, the percentage was in the teens. He closed his session saying the Gospel is the way to healing. Amen!
As Lutheran Women in Mission, we can share the hope that comes through faith in Jesus, our Savior. Listening, speaking encouraging words, and praying are ways to show Jesusβ love and compassion to all His children.
