simple compassion : urban


''those who shut their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry and not be answered''
proverbs 21 v 13





every person in my city matters to God and needs to know his love.

so today, i start section 3 of this book....it's day 27 already. almost one month. have i changed? probably not much. am i a more compassionate person, most certainly not. so, whats the point of this thing? i guess the one thing has been that i've spoken a lot more to my next door neighbours. it's good to talk and try to build up some kind of a community with others. actually, i realise that it's usually me who puts up barriers. i need to learn to be more open.

compassion extends beyond my comfort zone

what is the comfort zone. how to go beyond that. how do i live 'amongst the poor'. how on earth do i impact on this city? i have absolutly no idea.

pray.
God of this City
Chris Tomlin

You're the God of this City
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are

You're the Light in this darkness

You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You are

There is no one like our God

There is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come

And greater things are still to be done in this City

Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
