Compassion

Bible says in Matthew 9:36' "when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion". What about me? Am I moved with just my needs or do I possess compassion? Have I become so engrossed in my own issues that the issues of others don't even enter my mind. Jesus help us, I don't want them to see me and say I like your Jesus but don't like you! Jesus was the Word made flesh, guess what I think that needs to apply to me, us also. We must become the Word made flesh..

Failures

We all have them, let's face the facts. I have learned the greatest lessons in life from my failures, more so then from success. Success is actually a bad teacher. I must own up to my short comings, repent when they happen and ask the Lord to show me what I can learn. To many times I feel like a failure and fall short. That is why we need not lean upon the arm of this flesh but rather follow after the spirit. Bible says to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Rom 8:6) I must learn to trust Jesus in everything, especially my failures, and watch my spirit in the victories.
