Ask God to Soften Your Heart

Have you ever heard of compassion fatigue?

It happens when people get worn out from long seasons of caring for others. They can become detached or irritable and angry. Our human capacity for compassion is limited, but Jesus’ isn’t.

Matthew 9 says this about Jesus…

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Jesus came to save us because He has great compassion!

If you’ve felt your heart harden against people, I encourage you and challenge you to pray today, to ask God to soften your heart, and bring it to life again—with His endless compassion for all who are lost.

Always remember, there is hope with God.
