[FamilyofGod] The Consequences of Careless Compassion
Good Guys,
I would appreciate your prayers for my mother, Mary Ellen, as she is ill
and in the hospital in Dallas. I've gone to visit her, which means
instead up updating Signs of a Struggle this week, I chose one of my
favorite chapters from my new book, Surviving Sexual Brokenness: What
Grace Can Do.
The chapter is called "The Consequences of Careless Compassion," and here's a paragraph from it. I hope you will click the link and read the whole chapter:
Compassion is a gift from God that we can corrupt like everything else
He gives us. Oh . . . but when it is presented in its perfect form,
what healing takes place, what joy abounds, what grace flows and what
beauty springs forth from the dry desert, shocking those who view it,
like a brilliant and seemingly fragile butterfly that pauses on a
morning glory. Imagine, that little fluttering thing that looks like
tissue paper in flight can cross the continent and return again. It
looks weak, but it is strong because it has learned to manage the
currents and soar.
