A Heart of Compassion

Urgent heart care often requires defibrillator therapy. This treatment literally shocks the heart into functioning properly. Proverbs 25:20 “Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day or like vinegar on soda is he who sings songs to a troubled heart.” These word pictures portray both startling and stimulating events.  Removing a garment in freezing weather shocks senses. Vinegar on soda produces an overflowing effervescence.  In both cases, immediate activity is brought to an otherwise listless moment. Such is the impact of Spirit filled harmonic words to the heavy of heart.

Who in your sphere of influence has a troubled heart? Today, search them out with the aim of stimulating their soul. Allow the Holy Spirit to inspire melodic words of encouragement, spoken from your heart of compassion, that will aid in strengthening their heart. In doing so, you will help shock their soul into functioning as it should and in turn help them live right, live well…
