Embracing Compassion: A Reflection of God’s Love
As we navigate our daily lives, it’s essential to remember that our interactions with non-Christians can have a profound impact. Rather than approaching them with judgment or criticism, we should strive to offer the truth of God’s love with gentleness and respect.
A Life Transformed
Marla’s research for her book introduced her to numerous women practicing paganism, including Kimberly. At just 17, Kimberly experienced the devastating loss of her mother. Raised in a home where Eastern religion was prominent, but the Bible was unknown, Kimberly turned to witchcraft in search of answers. However, it failed to provide her with the solace she sought.
A Gentle Invitation
That was when a kind-hearted woman extended an invitation to Kimberly to attend church. Initially, Kimberly was determined to discredit the Bible, but she was captivated by the genuine love and compassion of the congregation. As she witnessed the love of God lived out in the lives of the church members, Kimberly’s heart began to stir.
A Life-Changing Encounter
Eventually, Kimberly prayed to receive Christ, and her life was forever transformed. Today, she serves as an editor for a prominent Christian publisher. Her story is a powerful reminder that our actions and attitudes can have a lasting impact on those around us.
Reflecting God’s Love
As followers of Christ, we are called to mirror God’s compassionate gaze. We must strive to approach others with empathy, understanding, and kindness, just as God has shown us. By doing so, we may be the catalyst for transformation in the lives of those around us. Will you join the journey of embracing compassion and reflecting God’s love to a world in need?
