ChatGPT estimates the number of birds alive in the world at 50 billion. Jesus said God feeds them all.

This meticulous providence does not tax or distract him.

It proves his attentiveness and care as a Father to us his children.

Scrolling leaves you drained. Reading brings you to life. Research shows TV and mindless content often lower mood, but a good book — whether fiction or nonfiction — actually elevates it.

Think of reading as a reset button for your brain. Stories draw you in, calm your nervous system, spark your imagination, and teach you empathy for a human experience outside of your own. Nonfiction gives you knowledge and perspective. Both remind you that your attention span and joy can grow again.

📚 What’s the last book that lit you up?

Drop it in the comments — someone else might need that recommendation today.

Re: the idea that empathy or compassion is bad or even "toxic," a belief held by some Christians today.

There is problem with that belief, and that problem comes from Jesus himself.

Over and over in the Gospels, an important word is used to describe what Jesus feels whenever he sees someone who is poor, or hungry or struggling. Most English-language translations say that upon seeing suffering, Jesus's "heart was moved with pity." In Matthew 9:36, when Jesus sees hungry crowds, "like sheep without a shepherd," the Greek word used to describe his feeling is σπλάγχνον ("splagchnon").

Basically, that word means that he felt compassion in his spleen, or as we might say, in his "guts," the seat of emotion in the Hellenistic world. It is an almost physical reaction to seeing someone suffer.

That word is used repeatedly in the Gospels to describe Jesus's emotional reactions. Jesus himself also uses the same word in some of his most famous parables: for example, to describe the feelings of the Good Samaritan towards the man by the side of the road (Luke 10:33), or the compassion of the loving father in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:20).

In other words, Jesus himself felt compassion so intensely that he felt it in his guts. And his own parables invite us to feel that same compassion ourselves.

Sympathy is feeling how you would feel if you were suffering like the other person. Empathy is feeling how they would feel. Compassion is the willingness to suffer what they are suffering, alongside them.

Jesus felt deep compassion, in his guts, for anyone who was poor, sick, hungry or struggling in any way. For the Christian, then, empathy is not a sign of weakness but of strength, as we follow Jesus along the road of compassion.
