Reflecting His Compassion

God Is Love

God is love,

and He made the human heart

capable of this great miracle of love

so that we might glimpse heaven

and experience that divine touch.

He who does not love does no know God; for God is love.

1 John 4:8

A Better Way

Anger

In Your Anger Do Not Sin

Anger is not in itself sinful.

Ps. 7:11. (God is angry with the wicked.)
I Kings 11:9. (God was angry with Solomon.)
II Kings 17:18. (God was angry with Israel.)
Mark 3:5. (Jesus was angry with the Pharisees.)

My Peace I Give When Prayer Seems Lost, Unheard; Know My Promises Are Ever In My Word.

All the peace, happiness, and power of the Christian life hings on one thing. That one thing is taking God at his Word, believing he really means exactly what he says.

OVERCOMING ANXIETY

Take one day at a time, and don't borrow trouble.
Matt. 6:34. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

When Trouble Comes and Things Go Wrong

Let us go quietly to God
when troubles come to us,
Let us never stop to whimper
or complain and fret and fuss,
Let us hide "our thorns" in "roses"
and our sighs in "golden song"
And "our crosses" in a "crown of smiles"
whenever things go wrong...
For no one can really help us
as our troubles we bemoan,
For comfort, help, and inner peace
must come from God alone...
So do not tell your neighbor,
your companion or your friend
In the hope that they can help you
bring your troubles to an end...
For they, too, have their problems,
they are burdened just like you,
So take your cross to Jesus
and He will see you through...
And waste no time in crying
on the shoulder of a friend
But go directly to the Lord
for on Him you can depend...
For there's absolutely nothing
that His mighty hand can't do
And He never is too busy
to help and comfort you.
