Compassionate and merciful spirit

Matthew 18:27

Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

1 Peter 3:8

Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tender-hearted, be courteous;

Questions in 1 Thessalonians 

. What is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? – 2:19

. Are not you in the presence of our Lord at His coming? – 2:19

. For what thanks  can we render  to God again for you, as we pray to see your face, and perfect that which is lacking in your faith? – 3:9-10

Luke 9:20

"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."

A lot of people have their opinions about Jesus' identity. The real issue, however, is what you believe about Jesus. What you decide about God's Son means everything for you and for those you influence. So listen to Jesus' question to his disciples as if he is asking it of you: "Who do you say I am?" I pray that your answer is the same as Peter's: “You are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

Prayer

. Almighty God, thank you for speaking in the past through your prophets. Thank you for inspiring godly men to give us your Scripture. Thank you for making the proclamation of your Word powerful today through the convicting work of the Holy Spirit. May I hear you truth in each of these areas. Most of all, Father, I praise you for speaking your clearest, more profound, and most accessible message in Jesus.

Because of Jesus, I know you love me, I know you have cleansed me, and I know I will share heaven with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and may my gratitude be seen in the quality and character displayed in my life. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
