Coco_diva4 -

You cannot give up...you have come too far to turn around. We all have our days. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

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

I'm so mad at Tye Tribbett and datruth...

[BrandNew]

Death could not hold you down..You are the risen King!! Ahh I just get soo excited when I think about it!! *Risen With Christ*

[MaxJones]

I'm so mad at Tye Tribbett and datruth...

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

[MaxJones]

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.

me and all the folks in my youth group really look up to datruth- he's been to our church several times- he semed to be so passionate about his ministry and such a good example the way he was talking to us -I didn't see it coming

also tye tribett is the biggest judgemental "you're going to hell" Christian in the spotlight- The least he could do is live what he proclaims.

Maybe I will get over it soon, but I won't be buying a tye tribbett cd for a long time. I already didn't like the dude, but his songs are great.


by the way i'm fresh outta 19 if that helps, i know yall are like mom age out this peice lol

Yes, you are the Head and not the tail... believe that!

Girl you better use him as an example!!! Remind your youth group that we ALL SIN AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD! That even those of us who look like we've got it together and are sold out for Christ fall. If the man after Gods own heart, David, fell so hard, then we should know that others will too.
Show them that there are attacks to every ministry and the worst ones come from our own lusts (james 1:14). Discuss with them what precautions to take...what would they do in that situation...and how God forgives us but we still have to deal with the consequences of our decisions!

[Laela]

That was very well said....

Whats wrong 1star..I can relate to your thoughts but you would be taking yourself out and do harm to alot of ppl that haven't even meet you yet..

[GoddessMaker]

Had a really good convo with my rommate and she said I wore many mask and had some really strong brick walls around myself...I already knew this but I don't want to take off my mask nor tear down my wall bc Im don't want to get close to anyone and I will knock a person over for getting close to me...what is a girl to do who wants to marry one day and do some good things for God..

[Changed]

Father, why do I keep thinking about this one guy? I pray for him everytime he pops into my head. I guess it'll be reveal to me sooner or later. I rather sooner.

[Irresistible]

i wish i could die at will

girl...are you on any treatment for the PMDD?

although I know all to well one could feel this way without that issue, But with it I KNOW it's like overkill

hope you are ok

Do They See Jesus In Me - Joy Williams

Is the face that I see in the mirror
the one I want others to see
Do I show in the way that I walk in my life
The love that You've given to me
My heart's desire is to be like You
In all that I do, all I am

Do they see Jesus In Me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love, and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus In Me

It's amazing that you'd ever use me
But use me the way You will
Help me to hold out a heart of
compassionate grace
A heart that You're spirit fills
May I show forgiveness and mercy
The same way You've shown it to me

Now I want to show all the world who You are
The reason I live and breathe
So You'll be the One that they see
When they see me

Lord, please change me so I may truly reflect You...

I can't help feeling this way, but when I read things like this Lord......

Some people just need to burn in hell, IMO. Their crime are so unforgivable, so inexcusable and committed against the most helpless members of (any) society. The only prayer they will receive from me is to rot. I'm all for praying for my enemies, but not for them.

I feel you 100%. 200% even. Its a good thing I'm not God. Salvation would be COMPLETELY different...

So true. Man just doesn't know how blessed he is to be able to have forgiveness.
