Are you moved with compassion?

James 4:17 So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it,
to him it is sin. Luke 10:33 But a Samaritan (foreigner), who was
traveling, came upon him; and when he saw him, he was deeply moved with
compassion [for him]

There are different kinds of sin that we commit regularly. The active,
purposeful sin, the unknown sin and the sin of omission. The sin of
omission is the act of not doing what you are suppose to do, what is right,
for one reason or another. The Lord Jesus spoke of a man that was beaten
and bruised, stripped and robbed, on the side of the road. Two people
walked by and did nothing. Then a Samaritan came by and was moved with
compassion. There are many things that I believe keep people from doing
good, doing what is right. The busyness of life, being so caught up in
their own life that they forget other people need help. Brethren, we are to
be people that are focused on God's kingdom and not our own. I pray that
God opens all of our eyes to see what He would have us do, focus on the
people around us in need, and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
