The Heart of a Disciple Maker
Moved with Compassion
Matthew 9:36-38
36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
Devotional: Before Jesus commissioned His disciples, His heart was moved with compassion. Ministry doesn't begin with strategy or programs—it begins with a heart that feels what God feels. When Jesus saw the multitudes, He didn't see numbers or statistics; He saw weary souls scattered like sheep without a shepherd. Today, ask God to give you His eyes to see the people around you—your coworkers, neighbors, and family members. They're spiritually lost, emotionally exhausted, and searching for direction. Compassion precedes commission. Before you can fulfill the Great Commission, you need a baptism of compassion. Let God soften your heart toward those who desperately need His love. Write down one person God brings to mind and begin praying for them with genuine compassion.
