Quiet Time: Compassion - Prayer

When we pause for quiet time in prayer, we enter a sacred space where compassion flows like a gentle stream, nourishing our weary souls. Picture a mother cradling her child, feeling every heartbeat, every sigh — this is the essence of compassion, an intimate connection that draws us closer to one another and to God.

In John 14:6, Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” This profound truth invites us to explore our purpose. In our moments of stillness, we are reminded that we are not just seekers of God’s will; we are vessels of His love. Each time we draw near, God pours His love into us, filling us to the brim so that we might overflow into the lives of those around us.

Imagine a community where each person is a reflection of divine love, where compassion reigns because we are steeped in the presence of Christ. When we devote ourselves to prayer, we become more attuned to the needs of others, discovering not only our purpose but also the joy of serving.

Let us approach our quiet time as a sacred appointment with our Creator, a time to breathe in grace and exhale compassion. As we grow spiritually, our hearts expand to embrace the world, and in doing so, we find our truest selves — not just as individuals, but as a beloved community, united in love, hope, and gratitude.
