Hello Chanelle,

It's good that you feel this way; your compassion, love, and care for humanity, specially those who are suffering, are all fruits of the Spirit. It's Godliness! And without all the evil, we would never experience these emotions. Though, this is very hard to accept at times, just remember, this "experience of evil" will one day come to an end.

Revelations 21:3-4:
And I hear a loud voice out of the throne saying, "Lo! the tabernacle of God is with mankind, and He will be tabernacling with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them. And He will be brushing away every tear from their eyes. And death will be no more, nor mourning, nor clamor, nor misery; they will be no more, for the former things passed away.


May the "God of peace" be with you,

- Christopher.

I had a similar feeling recently, there have been a few stories here in the UK about Dogs savaging babies to death. 

How utterly imcomprehensible and inexcusable for the owners.  It makes me mad actually.  These dogs must wear muzzles as law.

i never thought to talk to the child and get personally involved because i felt...well, like i would be intruding and that it was none of my business...

i told my boyfriend, when i started to cry, that i wanted to give her something to eat, i even told him i wanted to give her my slippers so at night her feet would not be cold.  i wanted to give this girl my very expensive jacket, at that moment my boyfriend was so helpful in telling me that he is happy that i have such compassion, but why does compassion have to be so painful?

i trust God has a plan and He knows what He is doing of course.  I trust in Him very much. I will never understand why He does these things, but i know He knows what He is doing.

Some of you said that God does these things to show others how "selfish" they truly are or how "lucky" they are.
i believe that.  i do believe that He wants people to see what they have and appreciate those things. i will tell you what! i certainly felt lucky when i saw this girl.

i wish i would have talked to her. i wish i would have given her something to eat, get to know her, something.
she could use a friend, at least i think so.
everyone needs a friend.
maybe it would help her through everything. i am not sure.
but maybe next time i will talk to her, but i feel scared and nervous...
i do not want to offend her in any way.

so...how would you approach her??  ???
any ideas?

God bless
-Chanelle

Dave in Tenn:
Lev 19:34  ...the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt:  I am the Lord your God.

Matt: 22:36-39.  ...an expert in the law...asked Him, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"
Jesus said to him, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."  This is the greatest and most important commandment.  The second is like it"  'You must love your neighbor as yourself.

Also read the parables in Matthew 25, particularly starting at verse 32 through verse 46.  Alex should well be able to help you there.

Approach her like you would yourself.  She's no different than you are.  And you are closer to Twelve than to my age.   ;)

Ray has said elsehwere that it takes maturity to 'love others like yourself'.  Maturity only comes with experience.  Experience comes with 'putting it into practice'.  Practice includes failure.  The journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step--that might not be 'scripture', but it's true nonetheless.

lovepeace, perhaps what Jesus said might help you get over the inability to confront. When people will ask, "when did we see you Lord" and the Lord said, "when I was in prison, did you visit me" "when I was hungry, did you feed me" when I was naked, did you clothe me"  Tears are a waste of time and they only make your eyes swell, you will get a tougher hide eventually but you are still young and see through your emotions, the will is where it is at.
