My wife attended a ladies conference in the recent past.  I love it when she comes home from such gatherings.  She is fired up and I love that.  I also enjoy hearing her tell me about events of the meetings or conference.  This time was no different.  I hope you enjoy the following.

During the ladies’ conference a paper was given to the ladies to fill out.  The Church that sponsored this conference also has a college tied to it.  They have teams of people who take these forms that the attendees fill out and they make phone calls during the conference.  They call the person on your paper and they present the gospel to them.  I have been in conferences there and I have experienced this.  It is amazing!  They called out a name and requested this gal stand up.  Everyone was looking around and could not see her.  The person at the microphone asked that this gal raise her hand.  In the audience a small hand barely rose above the crowd.  They told her that her grandmother had trusted Jesus Christ as her Saviour.  Even now the tears roll down my cheeks.  Praise the LORD!  This five (5) year old little girl had turned in her grandmother’s name that she needed Jesus to saver her.  That day on the phone her grandmother called upon the name of the LORD and was gloriously saved.

Jesus looked on the multitudes as was “moved with compassion” (Matthew 9:36).  When we look at the multitudes, family or even friends are we moved?  I pray that you and I are moved with compassion.  Look at Jude 22-23, “And of some have compassion, making a difference:  And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”  You can have compassion on someone and totally change their life.  You do not have to do monumental things.  Make a phone call.  Stop and visit with someone.  Send them a card.  All of these things are small to you and I; but, to someone that is hurting they are enormous.  I know for sure.  There have been days that I wished someone would call or stop by.  Some days that were so bad even a card would have been a lighthouse in a dark day.  Unfortunately, we just go about our day and live our lives with no thought of others, let alone think of Jesus.  If you will think about Jesus, He will bring others to your mind that you too can demonstrate compassion to.  I am sure of it.

So, how are you doing?
