Compassion

If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?

When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

“Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you!

“Do not judge, or you will be judged.

For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.

They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
