Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
Hebrews 13:16, HCSB
God created a home for us and called us to love as He loves, so let us find ways to love others well, sacrificially and compassionately, just like Christ.
Then she gave birth to her firstborn son, and she wrapped him tightly in cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
Luke 2:7, CSB
God told the Prophets God was coming to save His people, yet no one expected Him to come as a human. May we be open to see God moving in unexpected ways yet that align with Scripture, taking care to have gentleness and compassion while leading others to worship our Lord.
And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
Ephesians 4:32, CSB
A life of holiness relies on Christ in all things, and He helps us to forgive and be kind and compassionate when others aren’t toward us, just like He did with us.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience
Colossians 3:12, ESV
Let us be patiently kind to each other with the kindness of Christ, compassionate with each other in the humility of knowing we each struggle in some areas, knowing we need help to get through.
but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect
1 Peter 3:15, ESV
Our God has not left us alone, and He sends us into a hostile world that demands answers about Christ and God’s character. May we give them the same respect He has given by coming and dying, and may we show fear of God as He empowers us to be loving and compassionate.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
