The Hidden Link

Compassion is a link to My own heart, for I AM Compassion.

I have lived compassion.

Those who came to Me sick, lame, hungry and alone, the poor and brokenhearted–all will testify that I lived compassion. In death I held compassion for each and every one of you. I freely gave My life, that you may eternally live as I lived–in compassion for others.

There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Within compassion, you will find another word…

Compass

A true heart will be led by compassion, and the direction you are to take can be found in your heart, if your heart contains compassion.

Follow the leading of your heart, for I dwell within…

and

I AM Compassion.

I AM your Compass.

Follow it.

Follow Me.

“Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.” John 15:13-14

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” Matthew 9:35-36

“And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, so that the throng wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.” Matthew 15:30-31

“Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, ‘Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?’ And Jesus answered them, ‘Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is he who takes no offense at me.” Matthew 11:2-6

“–and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.” Mark 6:34b

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him.'” Lamentations 3:22-24

“And he said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ Matthew 4:19

What do you Believe?

Apr24

There is much talk these days that everything is good and right, as long as you believe it. And that each can have their own beliefs, and all are right. This is futile talk and total deception. How can everything be right and nothing wrong? How then, can something be right if there is no wrong to compare?

Foolish nonsense

Did I die for nothing, if all gods are the same? Would I die–lay down My life, for another to take My place on the Throne?

Nonsense

Utter Foolishness!

On the Day of Judgement, do you have complete confidence that your god will save you? Can you save yourself? If you are one that is a god unto themselves, and claim that all are their own god, what exactly is your plan when the end comes?

It will come I assure you, but if you don’t believe that, why believe anything at all? My Throne I give to no other, and no other gods stand before Me.

All will be judged and your own words will justify or condemn you. You have been given a free will to choose–you make the choice. And you will not be given opportunity to blame when you stand before the Judgement Seat.

You have also been given a brain to think clearly, that you may choose your words wisely. Choose Me–choose life. I already took care of the hard part for you, that you may enjoy your Salvation–worry free.

You Choose

“‘You are my witnesses,’ says the Lord, ‘and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am He. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me. I, I am the Lord, and besides me there is no savior.'” Isaiah 43:10-11

“‘Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. Who is like me? Let him proclaim it, let him declare and set it forth before me. Who has announced from of old the things to come? Let them tell us what is yet to be. Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.'” Isaiah 44:6-8

“‘I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.'” Matthew 12:36-37

“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.”
I John 4:15-17

“And Jesus cried out and said, ‘He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. And he who sees me sees him who sent me. I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day. For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life.What I say therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me.” John 12:44-50

“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.” Isaiah 45:22

Live Satisfied

Mar26

Length of days and long life are yours for the asking. I’ve even made provision for this in My Word–with long life I will satisfy you and show you My salvation.

Are you satisfied? Would you consider that you have lived a long life? There is so much expectation put on death from My children who are given the gift of life. I said that I came to give you life and that more abundantly…

Are you still living on the other side of victory?

CROSS over to the other side–it is teeming with life!

You will be satisfied with abundance. My blessing will overtake you. Heaven on earth is yours for the taking, but you must take it–take it by faith. Dig out every promise and blessing and go after them until they are realized in your life and then, when you have become consumed in blessing, teach it to someone else.

Share the wealth

Share the love

Share the Word

And

Live Satisfied!

“Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.” Psalms 91:14-16

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:10

“And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading-trough. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.” Deut. 28:2-6

“The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you; they shall come out against you one way, and flee before you seven ways.” Deut. 28:7

“–And the Lord will make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall tend upward only, and not downward; if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God…” Deut. 28:13a

“Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the coastlands afar off; say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock. For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him. They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more. Then shall the maidens rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow. I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says the Lord.'” Jeremiah 31:10-14

Hand Me the Keys

Feb19

Don’t fret when it seems as if things aren’t going to plan; for even if you have an idea where I AM leading you in your life, you don’t know all the paths it will take to get you there.

Leave the driving to Me.

I value your input in prayer and conversations as we plan together.

If you could see your life from My perspective…

you would gladly hand me the keys.

For it gets complicated–working all things out for your good.

But I delight to do just that–

for you are a delight to Me!

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Is. 40:28-31

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.” Prov. 3:5-8

“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.” Prov. 4:18

“For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he watches all his paths.” Prov. 5:21

“The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and for evermore.” Ps. 121:7-8

Plant Your Harvest

Feb11

The aftermath of your life is something that you have a choice about. Have you considered that you choose the outcome of your life? Stop and think about your life. Is there any time in your existence that I forced you down a path which you did not wish to take? Your life is your own. You can live and die to yourself if that is what you choose.

You have full reign to live shallow–serving only yourself and your immediate and fleeting desires

You can make the choice of a rich and unselfish life, that I orchestrate, for a plan and purpose much more complicated by design, but simply pure…

Simply delightful…

Kind and giving

and

Living

Truly living a life by My Design–you choose!

Your aftermath

How you live your life now, is seed planted for your future–plant for your desired end.

For one day your life on Earth will surely end and from there on, your future will surely be mapped out for you.

You will eat your harvest!

“God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.” II Thess. 2:13b

“Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Mt. 24:44

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” Mt. 25:13

“Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and throw them into the furnace of fire, there men will weep and gnash their teeth,. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.” Mt. 13:40-43

Eternal Vision

Feb5

Your standards are not My standards. Man is so temporal in their thinking–I AM eternal. I have made provision for you to be eternal; your thinking should then align with an eternal vision.

So many are focused on themselves…

What are my needs?

What shall make me happy?

What shall I do today? Tomorrow?

But…

What about your neighbor?
What steps have you taken to meet the needs of others?
How about your calling?

Every man that calls himself saved–bears My blood–his sins are washed–has a calling. I have a plan and a purpose for your life. Do you have that in your plans?

I have a plan of provision for your needs–they need not be your concern.

Will you then concern yourself with Me? Will you carry out your part in the plan for your life?

There is so much to be done. Life is so fragile–so quickly spent.

Spend your time wisely

Develop vision

Walk with purpose

For if you don’t have a destination you will never arrive…

Lets map your life together!

“And he said to all, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.” Luke 9:23-24

“Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.” Jn. 4:34-36

“Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.” I Cor. 10:24

“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any incentive of love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Phil. 2:1-4

“– one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 3:12-14

“Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer every one.” Col. 4:5

Give Me Your Heart

Jan3

Give Me your heart–without reservation. Stop holding back little pieces of yourself that you consider to be personal or insignificant. I want all of you.

Place Me above everything else in your life. Every ambition, every desire, every want should– no must have its root planted in Me to produce good fruit, lasting fruit meet for My Kingdom. It is the only fruit that satisfies, the only fruit that glorifies. (see John 15: 7-8)

Stop saying “I can’t” or “I don’t know how”. Take the steps and I’ll show you how.

Numb feelings are lifeless memories let them go. Release thoughts of rejection, hurtful wounds and a ragged past.

Live Life!

Everything that you do or say should and must be a source of life. In all you do be a channel of life.

Fruitful, healing, energizing life.

This is why the branches can do nothing of themselves. They must be connected to the vine to have life flowing through them. (see John 15:5)

Have life, emanate life. Live the abundance I have for you and you will be a blessing.

And you will be blessed!
