"Whoever looks with pity says, 'that's terrible,' and walks on, forgetting it all in that same instant. Whoever looks with compassion is never able to walk on, forget, or ignore. That person says, 'thats terrible. I cannot allow this to happen.' "
"It was compassion that moved Jesus to go to the dark, death-ridden tomb, calling out 'Lazarus!', transforming the cries of mourning and misery into tears of joy.
It was compassion that led Him to my tomb and yours, calling us by name. For 'God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions.' If we want to follow Jesus, we must look at the world with compassion."
-Matt Roper-
From the book, "Street Girls". A true life story of one man who God uses, and is using, saving girls from lifestyles of being used, and abused. Set in Brazil, it is a fantastic book to read to get a glimpse of how God may use YOU, if you are willing to be used.
