Compassion Unbelievable but Real

The Love Of The Savior

Colossians 3:12

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering;

Compassion is an inner feeling
Resulting in outward action.
It should be our daily belief(Col. 3:12).
By God’s grace, may we be known to bring relief

Lord, help us be compassionate
Help me show love and concern
For people in their grief;
Letting them know that there is relief

Then tell them of the love of Christ,
Of His great compassion for all
And His grace is sufficient to all who come
And He will bring their souls relief

True compassion is love in action
To everyone around you
No respecter of persons with Jesus
For He died for all who will receive.

Gone and Forgotten

With God All Things Are Possible

Sins confessed are sins forgotten;
The Lord says to you who ask
Your sins will be cast into the deepest sea
To be never remembered again

Look not back to yesterday—
With its failings and its falling
For those are now behind you
So just keep looking ahead

Life is full of failure and regret;
Once we have been forgiven
We are then allowed to forget
And move forward with out delay

Look ahead and seek God’s way
He will be your wilderness guide
Leading you day by day
So keep your eyes on your goal

Aim at the target, you may hit it
And be a winner just the same
Aim at nothing and you will hit it
Every time without fail

Yet without a doubt you will the looser be.
So keep your eye on the finish line
Keep moving ahead one step at a time
And you will cross it and win the race.


Don’t let yesterday’s failures bankrupt tomorrow’s efforts.

Watching My Words

Answer Softly

John Wayne, Western actor said,
“Talk low, talk slow,
and don’t say too much.”
His advice is hard for me to follow

In other words always speak quietly
Limiting your words to a few
Controlling your speech
Using it as a tool

When dealing with anger
This tool works very well
When used in the right way
I have a tough time using it wisely

The Bible says be “slow to speak” (James 1:19),
And that “a soft answer turns away wrath” (Prov. 15:1)
Keep a guard on what you say at all times
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.(James 3:10)

My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
Lord, set a guard upon my mouth
My tongue control today; it is beyond me
Help me evaluate each thought and each word

Help me bite my tongue before it speaks
And before my tongue bites me
Before it bites another
That may be a sister or brother.
