Love is Compassion

Love.
The word love has been ringing in my ears for the past two weeks! Love for God, Love for my husband/children, Love for people... Compassion has been stirred up on the inside of me! My personal belief is you cant be a 'true' christian without compassion. Leviticus 18:19 (amp), "You shall not take revenge or bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord."

Love & compassion go hand in hand.
Love:1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person (dictionary.com).
Compassion:1. a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.(dictionary.com). Compassion most definitely sounds like Love to me!!

God has most definitely given me a vision to open a homeless shelter. I have compassion for the homeless. I've realized (through prayer) homelessness is a mindset. So many people need to be taught! I'm not necessarily talking about 'academics' but their mindset. I do believe a lot of it is 'learned behavior'... a lot of them just need love. Someone to be there, to show they care!

Love.
Revolution: a sudden, complete or marked change in something. (dictionary.com)
We most def need a LOVE(compassionate)REVOLUTION. And its starts with one person at a time. Allow God to ignite the fire on the inside of you and lets start a wild fire of LOVE & COMPASSION!!
