Kingdom of Compassion Oct.23

Kingdom of Compassion

After a person experiences a childlike faith in Christ, the individual moves into an astonishing kingdom.

“. . . spiritually prosperous are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Mt.5:4, AMBT].

We, as Americans, still struggle with the idea of kingdoms. But God has somehow created kingdoms that are better than even a democracy.

When a person mourns, hurts, it is not just those hurts that are circumstantial or self-inflicted by bad decisions. A true believer enters a small kingdom of compassion because we begin to agonize for a world around us, our family, our friends, even those in the larger world we do not know. And along with this experience, God comforts us with His Holy Spirit.
