Good morning! How are we faithing? Do you have moments of clarity where you see truth and not lies of the world? Doyou have times that what you see is contrary to what you are being told? Do you seek God's eyes and not the worlds? We meet people on the street who are aggressive, manipulative, angry and we take on the same characteristics in response. Sometimes those people need a smile and a nickel. Sometimes a look in the eye and compassionate words cool situations completely. Someone who does not seek Gods face or doesn't know how or even that they need to will come at you and toss you off your balance. We as believers must equip ourselves to handle these times. It ain't easy but as soon as we recognize that the threat isn't necessarily personal, we need to respond with the compassion of Jesus or they may miss Jesus therefore we don't plant a seed or have any hope of ever seeing growth. Presenting Jesus' love to the supposed unlovable is not about you or me but about God. We are incapable of compassion on someone who disgusts us therefore we must put on Jesus. Knowing our state before grace came will bring to mind where others are. If they know not Jesus and God's ways, they ain't gonna act in kind. They are gonna act where they are. Remember that as you encounter bitterness, anger, despair, greed, ruthlessness, lust and many other demeanors that are contrary to compassion and grace.

Romans 11:33-36
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
NAS

Psalms 103:7-12
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the sons of Israel.
The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
He will not always strive with us;
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
NAS

Psalms 25:4-7
Make me know Thy ways, O LORD;
Teach me Thy paths.
Lead me in Thy truth and teach me,
For Thou art the God of my salvation;
For Thee I wait all the day.
Remember, O LORD, Thy compassion and Thy lovingkindnesses,
For they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
According to Thy lovingkindness remember Thou me,
For Thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
   Thank you for your grace and compassion that saves wretches like me. Lord we want to be ready and able to show your love whenever and forever. Lord, open the eyes of our hearts so we see into others hearts. We want to present you so they come to the source of all things and not be fooled by copies that are inferior and lead to destruction. Give visions and knowledge that will motivate us when we want to quit. We ask for healings for those hurting, in Jesus name, amen
