Psalm 146:7-9, NIV84
He upholds the cause of the oppressedand gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets prisoners free, The LORD gives sight to the blind, The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, The LORD loves the righteous.
The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
Matthew 25:31-46
Compassion is a choice
The real evidence of what we believe about God is found in how we treat people.
Compassion involves sacrifice
Compassion is an act of worship
Authentic worship for God will always be expressed in authentic displays of compassion.
Compassion comes from within
In order for us to be men and women who give life to others we have to live in the truth of who we are; we have to find an inner wholeness, no longer to deny or ignore our wounds but to welcome them and to discover the presence of God in those very places of our own weakness.
~Jean Vanier
