How Compassionate Are You?

"He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion" (Psalm 111:4).

God has made all of His wonderful works--new mercies every day, unmerited favor everywhere we go, re-uniting us in right relationship through the sacrifice of His Son--and we should remember these each and every day and be thankful.

Can we practice to do what He has done for us?

Can we be gracious towards others--instead of grumbling and always complaining about them or something they did?  Can we be full of compassion--showing others just how much we sincerely care about them or their situation?

If God were not compassionate towards us, where would we be?
We would not be recipients of His mercy, grace or love.  He would not have come to earth in the form of sinful flesh, be persecuted, crucified and willing to die for "our sins".  

He has shown us how compassionate He is towards us.  How much compassion do we have towards others?

Help us O God to care as You care!
