The Expression of Love is Compassion

Love is the greatest gift given. It is compassion expressed for another person. 

Love is willing to sacrifice time and something of value with someone else.

Love is not selfish

Love does not harm (Domestic violence does not exist where there is love)

Love protects and secures relationships (Family members never have to pay for the sins of others)

The Man Who Expressed Compassion for Someone else

(Scene: A man has been robbed, beaten and lay near death)

Story as told:

A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

From this story we can understand the meaning of the Golden Rule: "Do to others as you would have them do to you" (based on Luke 6:31 states And as you would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise)

Source of information: Luke 10:30-35 from the teachings of Jesus Christ

God’s Love is his compassion expressed to the human race.  He gave his Son, Jesus Christ as a sacrificial offering for the sins of the world. It is because of him, that we celebrate Christmas.

Love, forgive. God’s Love is The Greatest Gift of All

Do you want to be free from a negative situation in your life?

There are many negative situations that oftentimes occurs which we have to deal with. Some are sickness, failed relationships, losses, and all kind of things that can cause worry and stress. In the story below we can understand, there are times when we need help that reaches far beyond our abilities.









Story as told:

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him,

"Wilt thou be made whole?"

The impotent man answered him, "Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another step down before me."

Jesus said unto him, "Rise, take up thy bed and walk."

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked.

John 5:5-8 (K.J.V)

What this Story Teaches

God has compassion for each of us and cares deeply about our health and all of our needs. This man had been suffering from a disease that left him unable to be self dependent. He was very weak and needed someone to carry him. But he desperately wanted to be cured. He worked hard at trying to get to the healing water. He never gave up. When Jesus saw him, he knew his condition, and that he wanted to be free from the disease that had attacked his body for 38 years.

 Regardless of the situation, God has the power to change it. If it is sickness, loss of income or whatever the case may be he can deliver. An angel blessed the water in the pool during a certain season. Afterward, whoever entered the pool first was cured from whatever disease they had. The man was too ill to get there in time to enter the pool. Someone else always got there before him. That was the hinder for him receiving the cure in the water for his disease. Although, it is human nature to get frustrated, after having worked hard to see opportunities keep passing by, one must never give up.

Things occurs that hinders people from receiving cures for their health problems and from reaching their goals, or repairing a failed relationship.

But we know this, when the master of all cures comes on the scene, he can deliver healing.

Do you want to be free from a negative situation in your life?  God Can Make It Happen For You.
