hmmm...yea...this is something i felt worth to blog about...i also pray that many of us will also be able to demonstrate compassion towards others...
k some inputs from service notes today...Demonstrating Compassion! (just a part of the whole service)
Defn of Defination: Deep awareness of suffering of Others coupled with the wish to relieve it; Sympathetic consciousness of other's distress, with a desire to alleviate it; Quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it; the desire to free others from their suffering.
Some pointers to note on Compassion:
1) God is Compassionate
2) Jesus whole Ministry was a Demonstration of Compassion
3) We are to live a life of Compassion
4) It is to be a lifestyle
5) We are to look out for the interests of others
6) Pure and undefiled Christianity is to respond differently from the world - not a self-focus & pride; Not act with partiality
7) God's protection is removed when we ignore the needy, Prov 28:27
8) We will One Day be judged on the basis of our compassion to the needy, Matt 25:31-46, James 2:13
9) Genuine love for God will demonstrate Compassion, 1John 5:2
Afew of the many pointers of Understanding Compassion:
1) Being concerned for others more than ourselves
2) Personal value of selflessness
3) Giving without expectation of return
4) Requires a Godly response : - Non-judgemental; forgiveness; acceptance; mercy; love
5) It is a God idea...NOT a Good idea
Treat demonstrating compassion as a lifestyle!!!
will stop here...God Bless n Love u!
