God's Delight
When He saw the multitudes, He was
moved with compassion for them.
{Matthew 9:36}
Whenever we testify that God has forgiven us and provided eternal life
through faith in Christ, we're declaring that God is a saving God.
Yet, when we observe destructive lifestyles among people,
it's easy to write them off. Instead, we should look at them
as Christ does. "When He saw the multitudes, He was moved
with compassion for them" {Matthew 9:36}.
Jesus said He came not to condemn the world but to save it
{John 3:17}. Rather than condemning people, we should say,
"Who am I to condemn others, when God has forgiven me so
generously?" God delights to use forgiven sinners to reach
other sinners.
Love is giving for the world's needs,
Love is sharing as the Lord leads,
Love is caring when the world cries,
Love is compassion with Christlike eyes...Brandt
To love sinners is
to be like Jesus!
