06 Restored to Make a Difference

Spiritual growth is more than knowing more about God. It is becoming more like Jesus. As we grow in Him, His heart of love and compassion begins to shape the way we see and respond to people. Galatians 6:1–2 teaches us to restore those who have fallen, carry one another’s burdens, and fulfill the law of Christ, which is the law of love. Spiritual maturity moves us beyond simply seeing the needs around us. We begin to see people through the heart of Jesus, and His compassion moves us toward them.

In the story of the Good Samaritan, the priest and Levite saw the wounded man and passed by, but the Samaritan “had compassion.” His compassion moved him to action. He went to the man, cared for his wounds, lifted him up, and made provision for his restoration. This is the heart of Jesus. He sees people, He is moved with compassion, and He moves toward them with restoring love. As we become more like Him, His heart becomes our heart, His compassion becomes our compassion, and His compassion moves us to make a difference.
