FRIDAY, November 5
Matthew 14:14 When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick.
From this perspective, what Jesus felt came from his core center as opposed to something that was a thought or from the mind. Jesus didn’t think that maybe he should cure the sick because the crowd might get demanding and unruly and start to riot. He didn’t cure the sick because it was expected or because he wanted to be praised. He acted from the center. Jesus healed the sick with prayer and made sure everyone was fed until filled. This is waunsila. May we all seek to act as Christ, living out this virtue each day.
MOVING FORWARD: How can you act with waunsila today?
