How much better would the world be if people seriously and consistently focused on real enemies like poverty and disease?
This falls in line with the things I have been recently learning about how to transform such barren lands into viable human habitats through learning how to harness and safeguard the limited supplies of water.
Compassion is an attribute of Christ. It is born of love for others and knows no boundaries. Jesus, the Saviour of the world, is the epitome of compassion.
This is an attribute that the work needs more of.
Despite our every effort, you and I won’t heal everyone, but each of us can be the one who can make a difference for good in the life of someone. It was just one lad, a mere boy, who offered the five loaves and two fishes that fed the five thousand. We may ask of our offering, as Andrew the disciple did of the loaves and fishes, “What are they among so many?” I assure you: it is sufficient to give or to do what you are able and then to allow Christ to magnify your effort.
Don’t ask, “can I do enough” just ask “what can I do?”
When we love God with all our hearts, He turns our hearts to the well-being of others. Russell M. Nelson (The Second Great Commandment — October 2019)
