Having a spirit of mercy and compassion

In God's word it says so many places to show mercy. I recently was in a test of sorts to show mercy to someone. This I could not have done outside of the strength from Christ. There's just no way. Life slowed down and took a different course for me on February 7th. However I did not leave the narrow path. I have no other way to walk. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...........

I want to see through His eyes

Here's an article I found that talks about what He wants us to give to others. 


Faith Child – Bowels of mercy

The Mystery of Compassion
The Mystery of Compassion (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering. Colossians 3:12
In the Hebrew Bible, the Greek Septuagint, the Greek New Testament, the King James Bible, bowels play a central role as a term for deep human feeling, specific moral virtues, and the love of God. Such bowel imagery is ubiquitous, appearing not only in obscure passages, but also in many of the most important discussions of charity, God’s grace.
Bowels of mercies – Be merciful, not in act merely, but in spirit and affection. In all cases of this kind let your heart dictate to your hand; be clothed with bowels of mercy – let your tenderest feelings come in contact with the miseries of the distressed as soon as ever they present themselves.  The apostle would have them to feel the slightest touch of another’s misery; and, as their clothes are put over their body, so their tenderest feeling should be always within the reach of the miserable. Let your feelings be at hand, and feel and commiserate as soon as touched.  -
