Jesus words always comfort me. He speaks through people around me at the time I need the answers most. Jesus has His ways of making me feel that He is around me and my loved ones every single minute of the day, and that makes me very secure that I will be always safe with His protection.
May 01, 2007 How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.
Knowing that God forgives us is knowing that He loves us. This knowledge makes us feel the love for Him, the Forgiving God. God forgives, even the worst of the sinners have been forgiven. Even when He was dying on the cross, he forgave the sinner hung on the cross next to His own cross. This is the kind of love that no one can ever give any one of us.
Compassion is when you feel within yourself the pain or hurt that another person is feeling, and thus causes you to make an action or move in order to ease the pain that the person feels. I feel compassion when I see a blind man begging for alms, knowing that he is helpless in his condition, causing me to give to him what I can give. I tend to put myself in his shoes and imagine how my life would be if I were him, and think how happy he would be to receive any amount that anyone could give him.
