God's Kingdom comes on earth through His heart of compassion lived out through the loving actions of His people. We're experiencing that through the prayers, love, concern, and kind actions of people all around us as our son deals with two surgeries this week.
This experience gives me fresh waves of sympathy and empathy for my neighbor in need. It reminds me of the power in the encouragement, prayer, and presence of others.
The Kingdom breaks through with this reality:
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
