Deep Compassion
“Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name Yah, And rejoice before Him. A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.”
Psalms 68:4-6 NKJV
This is a beautiful verse in psalms as the writer pours out his gratitude and his praises to God.
These verses are verses of compassion that God has on his people …
Each day is given to us by God it’s what we do with that day that makes a difference in our relationship with Him and our every day walk with Him.
We should sing praises to our God, no matter what goes on in our lives and I know that is difficult to do sometimes because we go through some junk !!!!!!!
But He is a sovereign God He is a just God. He is a god of compassion, and if we are to be like Him, we have to produce His traits on a day-to-day basis.
We should show empathy and have that active listening, no matter what is going on in our lives.
Some of my greatest moments in ministry have been to minister to somebody when I was going through a lot of junk myself and to get feedback from people saying I really appreciated what you said I appreciated what you did.
And I’m very quick to tell them it wasn’t what I said and did, but God threw me because God knows what we need before we ever need it.
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Romans 12:14-21 NKJV
True compassion is seeing people where they are. We are to look at the need in their life and act. Accordingly we are to give hands up and not hands out. We are to uplift and not judge and put down.
“But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly isis plentiful, but the laborers areare few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.””
Matthew 9:36-38 NKJV
We are to have the mentality of serve and not be served …
There are so many needs and so many things that we could be actively doing to show compassion and show Christ behavior within ourselves .
We should be reflecting on God‘s mercy and give mercy and not judgment and not just pass something off so many times we overlook a need because we’re so caught up in our agenda and what we think in our eyes is the right thing to do .
“The man Micah had a shrine, and made an ephod and household idols; and he consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
Judges 17:5-6 NKJV
The enemy is all about deception and we should not allow him to deceive us into doing what is wrong in the eyes of God ……
And we should show God‘s mercy and grace at every turn ….
“Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.”
Titus 3:1-8 NKJV
And Remember Family God Loves You Love God And Love Somebody !
