Go and do the same yourself.—Luke 10:37.

 

We might ask ourselves: ‘Am I doing the same? Am I doing what the compassionate Samaritan did?’ (Luke 10:30-35) ‘Could I more actively display mercy and engage in positive deeds of kindness toward those who are suffering? For instance, could I offer practical help to older fellow Christians, widows, and those who are spiritually fatherless children? Can I take the initiative to “speak consolingly to those who are depressed”?’ (1 Thess. 5:14; Jas. 1:27) When we display mercy toward others, we enjoy the happiness that results from giving. Moreover, we know that we are pleasing Jehovah. (Acts 20:35; Heb. 13:16) Regarding a person who shows consideration, King David said: “Jehovah will guard him and keep him alive. He will be pronounced happy in the earth.” (Ps. 41:1, 2) Giving expression to our feelings of compassion will also put us in line to receive Jehovah’s mercy, which in turn can result in our being eternally happy.—Jas. 2:13. w18.09 19 ¶11-12

We show genuine Christian Love by assisting those in need! It could be as simple as listening or giving encouragement! Satan is slapping all of us and we need that stoking of encouragement! When we show love and mercy to others Jehovah will extend love and mercy to us! Jehovah tells us that when we help the lowly, we are lending to him! What a powerful thought!!! Lending to the Creator! Whew!
