When I joined Disciple Bible study last fall, I desperately wanted to understand God's call in my life. As we journeyed through the Bible, I kept a journal of my aha-moments so I could discover what God had in store for me. Looking back over the things that I wrote, one thing is very clear.
Disciples are called to take care of one another.
Exodus 23 says ...and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. 27...When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate."
I will hear their cries. I am compassionate. Those words convict me. Have I really taken the focus off me even for a few minutes to focus on someone else? Do I hear the cries of those in need? Or, do I change the channel when the pictures cut a little too close to my heart?
I re-read the words of Exodus and search my own heart.
I am compassionate.
How can I make those words true?
