Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hast formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, a d as a watch in the night. Psalm 90 verses 2 and 4.
This is the God we serve. A God of power and of might. He was before all things the Creator. He formed everything with words of his mouth.
He is God. He can do anything.
We have only to believe and he will do it.
Compassion is at the forefront of being a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ.
When Jesus walked this earth,
He was moved with compassion for so many who came to Him for help that He helped them. He helped them and asked for nothing for Himself.
To be like Christ, we have to behave like Him, then we will be His deciples in thought, word, and deed.
Blessed is he that considers the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
Psalm 41 verse 1.
The Lord is in control.
The Lord sits as king forever. There is none like Him. He rules with a strong arm and with great compassion.
He is worthy to be praised from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same.
(Adapted from Psalm 29 verse 10, Psalm 113 verse 3 and Psalm 135 verse 6.)
Chivalry is still alive today
“Love suffers long and is kind” 1Corinthians 13:4
In medieval times, acts of chivalry were used by knights to demonstrate commitment, respect, compassion and trust as well as to show noble bravery to a lady when pursuing an honourable relationship with her.
Chivalry is still alive today and can be seen in acts of kindness such as opening a door, pulling out a chair or as simple as returning a warm greeting. Valentine’s Day supports a somewhat chivalrous behaviour by the giving of flowers, chocolate, having a candlelight dinner or showing love and compassion to others in kind words and deeds.
Hope never dies
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1Peter 1 verse 3
Hope means expectation, desire, something to look forward to; hope never dies. Christ is our hope. Mercy means compassion, forgiveness, kindness. God has granted these favours on us – He sent His son to die for us. He raised His son from the dead so that we can live forever. (Vicissitudes of Life 2007)
God cannot and will not tolerate sin.
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth. Revelation 3 verse 7
Judgement and justice belong to God. God is holy. We speak about His love and compassion- which we experience everyday, but we, most of the time forget His governmental hand. He cannot and will not tolerate sin. (Vicissitudes of Life, 2006)
