“Give me ... a compassionate heart, quickly moved to grieve for the woes of others and to active pity for them, even as our Lord Jesus Christ beheld our poverty and hasted to help us. Give me grace ever to alleviate the crosses and difficulties of those around me, and never to add to them; teach me to be a consoler in sorrow, to take thought for the stranger, the widow, and the orphan; let my charity show itself not in words only but in deed and truth.” GivingHeartHelpingShowsJesusChristChristianityLordPovertyTeachGraceSorrowJesus ChristCrossesGive MeDifficultyMovedAddCharityDeedsStrangerActivePityGrievingCompassionateWoeOur LordWidowsOrphanLord Jesus ChristAlleviateOur Lord Jesus Christ Author:Johann Arndt
