Compassion On This World

by | May 17, 2015 | Prayer | 7 comments

“Then the King will say, “I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me – you did it to me.”
(Matthew 25:40, MSG)

“Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks with
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.”  – Teresa of Avila

In My Thoughts,
Joanne

      It hit me so hard – a simple act – as simple as a cup of water – is ministry. We can make it so much harder than it needs to be, can’t we? Have a blessed Sunday!

    If we could teach the world one thing, I think it should be this.

    AMEN! That’s a good sharing, thinking, photoing, entering the world and the Lord. Thank you.
