THE POWER OF JESUS' COMPASSIONATE LOVE

THE POWER OF JESUS' COMPASSIONATE LOVE


OUR God-our Jesus
Are COMPASSIONATE
They are ALWAYS ready to HEAR
WHENEVER we open our hearts
To SPEAK to them


Jesus was so COMPASSIONATE
When he walked the earth
That he was always ready to HEAL
Those in need


The sick-the deaf-the blind-


“They were exceedingly ASTONISHED
And thy said,
'He has done
ALL things well


He makes the deaf hear
And the mute speak'” Mark 7:37


It ISN'T any different
For us today-
Jesus reaches out to us
In COMPASSION
When we speak to him in PRAYER


“As a father
Has compassion on his children


So the Lord HAS compassion
On those who fear him” Psalm 103:13


And those who LOVE him-sometimes
It is NOT BEST for us
In the long run
For the Lord to answer-
AFFIRMATIVELY-and it is sometimes best
For us to WAIT awhile


ONLY the Lord KNOWS why-but he
STILL has love and compassion for us-
For our problems and our suffering


“In a surge of anger
I hid my face from you
For a moment


But with EVERLASTING KINDNESS
I will have COMPASSION on you
Says the the Lord your REDEEMER” Isaiah 54:8


“PRAISE be to the God and Father
Of our Lord Jesus Christ


The FATHER of compassion
And the God of ALL COMFORT
Who comforts us


So that we CAN comfort those
In any trouble


With the COMFORT
We ourselves receive
From GOD” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4


ONE such way-that the Lord
Comforts me


Is that when I have
NO IDEA what I am going
To write


He LAYS WORDS in my heart-
And in my mind
To SHARE with all of you


And as the SAME WAY
The Lord comforts us
WE are to TRY and help
Comfort and SHARE COMPASSION
With others who are suffering


“Even though
I walk though the darkest valley
I will fear no evil
For you are WITH ME


Your rod and staff
COMFORT ME” Psalm 23:4


And we comfort each other
ALONG life's journey


WHEN I run into problems
I ask God-there is NO OTHER WAY
For me to go


And HE always takes over
And tells me what to say-
What to do


MY PRAYERS are always-
ANSWERED in some way
Because of the amazing power
Of God in our lives


I HOPE that yours are too


Dear Lord-MAY we always recognize
THE POWER OF JESUS' COMPASSION
IN OUR LIVES


HUMBLY-in you Lord
