CHOOSING TO LIVE=
WITH MERCY AND COMPASSION
It is a TOUGH LIFE=
And so many of us
Want to set ourselves up
As JUDGE and jury
For others
I sometimes WONDER
If that is not why
Our country=our world
IS IN=the shape
It is in
But God doesn’t want that
Jesus does NOT
Want that=and he tells us
That today
“I say to you
SOMETHING GREATER
Than the temple=is here”
Matthew 12:6
I don’t know
About you=but I find it
EASY to get into
Judging someone else
But God wants us to live
WITH MERCY=WITH COMPASSION
NOT to set ourselves up
To judge one another
CHOOSING TO LIVE
WITH MERCY AND COMPASSION
“Remember Lord
YOUR GREAT MERCY=and love
For they are=From of old” Psalm
25:6
“In his love=AND MERCY
He redeemed them=
He lifted them up
And carried them
All the days of old”
Isaiah
63:9
“But you have neglected
The more important matters
Of the law-------
Justice-MERCY=and faithfulness”
Matthew 23:23
Sometimes our judgment gene
Gets us into trouble
But Jesus REMINDS us today
To temper that
WITH MERCY
For we NEVER KNOW
The full story
BEHIND another’s actions or words
FEEL COMPASSION
For one another=feel love
Try to put YOURSELF
In another’s shoes
“The Lord=is good to all
HE HAS COMPASSION=on all
He has made”
Psalm 145:9
“Therefore=as God’s chosen people
Holy and dearly loved
Clothe yourselves WITH COMPASSION-kindness-humility-
Gentleness=and patience”
Colossians 3:12
WHEN we judge
Rather than=SHOW MERCY
AND COMPASSION
We lose sight
Of what is greater
IN GOD’S EYES=
Christ EXPECTS US
To live with mercy
CHOOSE TO LIVE
WITH MERCY AND COMPASSION!
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ALL MERCIFUL=Holy
Father God!
