Do We Have Compassion?

We have been challenged. Challenged to think about people other than ourselves. Those who have no voice and no advocate. We've been given a charge, but will we accept?

"Jesus answered, If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'" Matthew 19:21

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in." Matthew 25:35

"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
1 John 3:17-18

I could list a number of other verses that implore us to take action. All around us people are in need. Every corner of the globe there are those who cry out daily for help, for compassion. Do we have compassion? Will we have compassion? Can you look into the eyes of one of these children and say yes? God has blessed us with much, now I encourage you to go and share that blessing with others.

If you cannot support financially, will you pray? Pray that God would provide sponsors for these beautiful children. Pray that God will uplift their pastors and the church volunteers who give to these kids daily. Pray that their parents can find stable jobs and homes, clean water and food. Pray for hearts to be turned towards Jesus. Pray for compassion.

Sponsor a Child

I Am...

I am feeling like there's more. More that I should be doing, and praying that I can figure out what that is.

I am hoping that when I get to heaven, God will say that I completed at least most of the things He called me to do, and that I didn't tell Him "no" more often than I said "yes".

I am praying that my children will seek God with all their hearts.

I am in love with my husband. Day in and day out he's the man for me.

I am exploring writing.

I am setting goals.

I am trying to get my eyes off of the world and more on God. But reality shows me I have a lot to quit focusing on.

I am listening to our 22 year old cockatiel chirp and cannot believe I've had him since I was twelve! :)

I am trying to get more organized and failing horribly.

I am playing fantasy football again this year and hope to do better than last year.

I am glad the school year has started, but sad at the same time. Life just got a whole lot busier!

I am glad reading the book of Joshua and thinking, if it were possible to do it right, it would make for a great action mini series.

I am done with this post. :)
