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.
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.
Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.
Hosea 10:12, ESV
God alone is our source of righteousness and love. He can make the cruel compassionate and the evil righteous, but we must turn to Him and seek Him.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Proverbs 18:21, ESV
God created with His words, and He saves us by The Word. We can destroy a person with uncaring, unthinking words, but we can also help the depressed and hopeless with compassionate, careful words. Trust the Holy Spirit to give power and wisdom to our speech for good and life.
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!
