Learn Compassion 101
Compassion matters in this evil world.
If you, saved by God's grace in Jesus Christ,
do not know how to show it, it is time for
you to learn how to do so.
Proverbs 11:24-25
"One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."
Romans 12:8d-21
"...he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil;
cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love;
give preference to one another in honor; not lagging
behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted
to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints,
practicing hospitality.
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 be
be wise in your own estimation.
Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is
right in the sight of all men.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with
all men.
Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room
for the wrath of God, for it is written,
“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
“But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty,
give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals
on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
