I've been thinking alot about compassion for the last several months.  As I tried to organize my thoughts around the topic, I came up with the 4 week study on compassion for Wednesday nights.  It has helped me better understand what the bible teaches about compassion.  It seems that more thought I put into the topic, the more I began to realize what a great plan God has for all of us.  He provides everything we need to love and be loved.  He gave us the ultimate gift of love, grace, forgiveness, and compassion with his Son!  And all he asks from us in returnis that we accept his gift.  When we accept his gift, we declare that we want his love to shine through our lives so that others can see, experience and hopefully one day accept that same gift.  I hope you all have taken some time in the last month or so to think about what compassion means to you in your daily lives, and that you feel the hand of God working through you to share compassion with others.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your Wednesday nights.

Blessings to each of you,
Doug
