Compaixão
A compaixão é o coração de Deus em ação. Ele é compassivo e misericordioso, tardio em irar-se e grande em amor. Somos chamados a refletir essa compaixão no mundo.
13 Like as a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
22 It is of the LORD' mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.23 They are new every morning: great is your faithfulness.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yes, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.16 Behold, I have graven you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious to you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy on you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
18 Who is a God like to you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger for ever, because he delights in mercy.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy on them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
9 Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother:10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
32 And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ' sake has forgiven you.
8 Finally, be you all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brothers, be pitiful, be courteous:
17 But whoever has this world' good, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;4 Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
11 Finally, brothers, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
