Compassion

My Bible reading has been in Job the last few days, and below is something I had written in the margin of my Bible for Job 16:4,5. It’s a good reminder for each of us…we never know what tomorrow may hold.

~ Whatever our brethren’s sorrows are, we ought by sympathy to make them our own; they may soon be so. ~  Matthew Henry

“I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you, BUT I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.” Job 16:4,5
