GOD'S COMPASSION=OUR COMPASSION

GOD'S COMPASSION=OUR COMPASSION


What is it that BRINGS
You DOWN in life? Chances
Are it IS some sort of
Sin or BEHAVIOR in your life


Something like=Greed=disdain=JUDGING OTHERS=
Selfishness=bullying=hoarding=lying=envy=or
MAYBE something else


Maybe you have one of these
BEHAVIORS=or maybe there is some
OTHER behavior that you have


Or MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE has
TREATED YOU with some of
These KINDS of behavior


NOTHING like being brought DOWN=
Or feeling QUITE LOW


“........MAY your COMPASSION
Quickly come to us


For we are BROUGHT very low” Psalm 79:8


When we are FEELING LOW
It is easy to see
How much we NEED
OUR COMPASSIONATE GOD


Or the compassion
Of ANOTHER human being


We need BOTH:
GOD'S COMPASSION=the compassion
Of our BROTHERS and SISTERS in Christ


And we need to
GIVE OUR COMPASSION
To others=
WHEN they are feeling low


“........Who redeems your life
From the pit
And crowns you
With LOVE AND COMPASSION?” Psalm 103:4


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


But with everlasting kindness
I will have COMPASSION
ON YOU” Isaiah 54:8


“As you know
We count as BLESSED
Those who have persevered


You have heard
Of JOB'S PERSEVERANCE
And have seen
What the LORD finally brought about


The Lord is FULL
Of COMPASSION AND MERCY” James 5:11


ASKING for compassion
From the Lord is good


The WISE part of our hearts
Know that WHEN
We ask for COMPASSION
From God(and others)


That we are
EMBRACED by God's love


God's compassion
OUR COMPASSION for others


God's LOVE is always
Ahead of us and another name
For this love
That WAITS for us
Is “COMPASSION”


“PRAISE be to the God and Father
Of our Lord Jesus Christ
The GOD OF COMPASSION
And God of ALL COMFORT” 2 Corinthians 1:8


And ALMOST just as important
As God's COMPASSION for us


Is US having compassion
For ourselves=and our own WEAKNESSES
And those of OTHERS


Dear Lord=Dear GOD OF COMPASSION=
Thank you for having COMPASSION
And MERCY for us


In Jesus' name and in the name of HIS DIVINE FATHER
