Day 13

As Job’s friends approach him in his suffering, they offer
criticism instead of comfort, showing how easily com-
passion can be distorted by judgment. In contrast, in Matthew
9, Jesus is moved with compassion for the crowds, healing
their sicknesses and meeting their needs with a tender heart.

The Holy Spirit fills us with God’s compassion, opening our
eyes to the needs of others. He softens our hearts so we can
serve, encourage, and love others as Jesus did. True compas-
sion sees beyond flaws and meets people where they are,
pointing them to God’s healing love.

Today, pray for a Spirit-filled heart of compassion. Ask the Spirit
to help you approach others with understanding and love,
responding to their needs with God’s kindness and grace.

Today’s Readings:
Job 11 • Job 12 • Job 13
