Let Compassion Be Your Greatest Passion

It's GOD's love that kept me and is still keeping me. There go I but for the grace of GOD.

Quit pushing your nose up at others and moving in the spirit of the old Pharisees and Sadducees because, NO, YOU DON'T KNOW what you would do if you got hit like "she did", like "he did", or like "they did".

We'd like to believe or really make ourselves believe that we would "do this" or "do that" or respond "this way" or "that way", but the truth of the matter is you will never know how you will respond to any given situation until it happens to you. Keep living and you will find that the REAL YOU has a way of sneaking out and surprising you when your spiritual guards are down and you have been hurt. So don't let your haughty spirit lead you straight into a fall because it can and it will. (Proverbs 16:18).

1 Corinthians 9:27 says, "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."

Be patient with those who are still going through the process by remembering that you weren't always "there" either - wherever and whatever "there" means or signifies to you. You didn't always have "it together"; you weren't always wrapped that tight. Thank GOD for the Holy Spirit because He makes many of us look just that good. Yet, don't think that because He has polished you, refined you, set you up, established you, and now you've got it "going on" that YOU FORGET and become so disconnected with people. JESUS is a people person. HE LOVES PEOPLE.

COMPASSION should always be our greatest PASSION. Hello? GOD loves the people you don't LIKE and fish live in water and they still stink. Let's catch fish and let GOD do the cleaning please.

To the person "going through", I pray that if you fall, YOU GET UP, and when it's hurting really bad, you run to JESUS. Keep looking to JESUS; for HE IS the Author and Finisher of your faith. It's not how you start but how you finish. And yes, you can finish with CHRIST bringing you all the way home. That's why I need Him. We all do. ~2012 Narda GoodsonMinistries, 10/28/2012
