Daily Butter 9/10: Remember

My little addition to Our Daily Bread (9/10/11):

Remember the prisoners, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated, as though you yourselves were suffering bodily. (Hebrews 13:3 HCSB)

“But by the grace of God, there go I.” I’ve heard that quoted so many times by brothers and sisters in faith that I have no idea where it originated, but I can tell you it has endured for the simple reason that it is a valuable reminder of the truth from this scripture. Compassion is feeling on behalf of another, so this reminder to try shifting our perspective to what theirs might be.

As we approach tomorrow’s “National Day of Service & Remembrance” that commemorates that life-changing day a decade ago, remember those who gave, served, suffered and those who continue to give, serve and suffer.
