This hug is for you....so wipe your tears and put on some praise music. We are waiting for you You have too much of God in you to keep to yourself! You are a blessing to the body of Christ.

And always remember that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us .

Thank you Pink Pebbles and PG480 for your kind words.I really don't know why I feel so bad.Maybe because Im trying to do right but am not hitting the mark.I look at my circumstances too much I suppose.I know that God doesn't make people to live miserable I pray.I feel embarassed at times that I allow my present to make me so blue..

A Word on Character: Compassion

Compassion, of course, doesn't mean feeling sorry for people, pitying people. Compassion, com-pas-sion, means 'to feel with.'

Dictionary's meaning: Sympathetic consciousness of others' distress along with a desire to alleviate it.

What the Word says Compassion is:
* The Lord will always have compassion on us. (2 Kings 13:23, Nehemiah 9:27, Psalm 103:13, Isaiah 54:8) Does the Lord expect something from us in return?
* Jesus felt compassion to those in need. (Matthew 9:36, 14:14, 15:32, 20:34, Mark 6:34, 8:2, Luke 15:20, etc.)
* Those who walk with the Lord will have compassion. (Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:12-13, Philippians 2:1-2, 1 Peter 3:8)
* Compassion fulfills the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2)

To do:
1. Pray specifically to become a person of greater compassion.
2. Seek to be a Good Samaritan to the person in need that you have identified.

Showing compassion, not pity, for others is my challenge for today.

Wishes she could believe in the prayers I say...I wish I didn't feel as though everyone is above me in spite of the word saying im the head and not the tail above and not beneath...I wish i didn't feel like Im a little slave who is always having to go over and above to get the tiniest approval from people..I guess this is why I feel everyone is so much important than I am thus making it much easier for me to pray for others and believe they can change and be healed and be success...I wonder why Im still in school knowing that I may never be like everyone else who is successful..just my thoughts and rant

Why are you mad? Because of the affair or his dismissal from his record label?

I made a list of 50 things I want to accomplish in life. Why is number one always the same? He should always be number one anyway, but I know that since I finished reading the bible* beginning to end years ago, my relationship with God has been incredibly stagnant. I just don't know why. Lord Jesus.






*I don't believe that anyone can ever finish reading the bible. Ever.
