Growing In Compassion Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

What conversion
of mind, heart,
and life is the Lord
asking of me?

A leper came
to Jesus and
kneeling down
begged him.

For what do I
need to beg Jesus?

How can I
approach Jesus
in reverence and humility?

Moved with pity,
he stretched out
his hand.

What encourages me
to reach out to
those in need?

How can I grow
in compassion?


How do I deal with
those who question
my faith?

How can I support
and defend
what I believe?
