Compassion Verses
| “The
Lord is not only tender and merciful and full of compassion, but He is
also the God of justice, holiness and wrath…Compassion is not complete
in itself, but must be accompanied by inflexible justice and wrath
against sin and a desire for holiness. What stirs God most is not
physical suffering but sin. All too often we are more afraid of
physical pain than of moral wrong. The cross is the standing evidence
of the fact that holiness is a principle for which God would die. God
cannot clear the guilty until atonement is made. Mercy is what we need
and that is what we receive at the foot of the cross.” ― Billy Graham |
| “Our
task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it's
beauty.” ― Albert Einstein |
| “We
must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit
to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer |
| “When
we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.” ― Maya Angelou |
| “There
is no small act of kindness. Every compassionate act makes large the world.” ― Mary Anne Radmacher |
