Feeding hearts and minds


 Mark 6:34

As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

He had compassion on them

Compassion for the lost who yearned for a shepherd 

One who would lead them in love

One who would care for them 

not because of what they could give in return 

but because they merited care and compassion

He had compassion on them

and began to teach them many things

not so that they would be beholden to him

but so that they would be equipped to resource themselves

through the wisdom that he shared

Wisdom and compassion

Gifts that continued to make a difference

long after their hunger had been fed

long after they had left the lakeside

and returned to their homes and their communities

Wisdom and compassion

Gifts we receive  for sharing
