00:00:00 this morning scripture reading is taken from Isaiah chapter 49: 1-18 Isaiah 49 verses 1 to8 I shall be reading from the NIV let's focus on the word of God listen to me you Islands hear this you distant Nations before I was born the Lord called me from a mother's womb he has spoken my name he made my mouth like a sharpened sword in the shadow of his hand he hid me he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his qua he said to me you are my servant Israel in whom I will display my splendor but I say I have labored in
00:00:44 vain I have spended my strength for nothing at all yet what is due me is in the Lord's hand and my reward is with my God and now the Lord says he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord and my God has been my strength he says it is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept I will also make you a light for the Gentiles that my salvation May reach to the ends
00:01:19 of the Earth this is what the Lord says the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel to him who was despised and abort by the nation to the servant of rulers Kings will see you and stand up princess will see and bow down because of the Lord who is faithful the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you verse 8 this is what the Lord says in the time of my favor I will answer you and in the day of salvation I will help you I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people to restore the land and to reassign its
00:01:54 desolate inheritances to say to the captives come out and to those in Darkness Be Free they will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every Barren Hill they will neither hunger nor thirst nor will the desert heat of the Sun beats down on them he who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside Springs of water I will turn all my mountains into roads and my highways will be raised up see they will come from afar some from the north some from the West some from the region of Aswan shout for Joy you Heavens Rejoice
00:02:29 you Earth burst into song your Mountains for the Lord Comforts his people and will have confession on his afflicted ones but Zan said the Lord has forsaken me the Lord has forgotten me can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has born though she may forget I will not forget you see I have engraved you on the palms of my hands your walls are ever before me your children hasten back and those who late to waste depart from you you lift up your eyes and look
00:03:02 around all your children gather and come to me to you as surely as I leave declares to Lord you will wear all those ornaments you will put them on like a bride this is the word of God let's pray father we thank you for another new day Lord day that we come and gather to hear your word and to learn and to understand who you are and Jesus who you've sent to us Lord pray that you speak to us pray that your word go forth and not return void Lord help us to have a have ears to listen and after listening help us to change and
00:03:52 live it out what we learn as well help us to be more like you every day but we thank you for for this in Jesus name we pray amen good morning ABC uh it's been uh my pleasure to come and continue to share with you on the word of God now today's passage is uh very long thanks to for uh reading it it's on Isaiah 49 and before we really go through the whole passage I have just want to I want to spend some time with you to uh Ponder a bit when we say that you know we become Christian and we have a certain understanding of who God is is
00:04:31 we have a image of we believe and we have this impression of how God is who he looks like what he does and all that so I'm just going to ask you some questions and ask you to look at the screen and tell me all these people I show over here which person is more Godlike okay don't think about it just give me an answer very quickly only okay either is one on the left or right just take a look very quickly and see what you think so which one do you think is more Godlike Abraham Lincoln who abolished the slave trade or this uh
00:04:59 woman over there from La okay another one Kamal Harris okay going for election soon uh compared to this Indian woman in uh yeah this woman India feeding a baby who is more Godlike if I tell you one of them is God who do you think will be okay Al a lot of you don't like come Harris okay right or Le Jong the best shutler out there who's able to do many things you know who's very good at what he does uh the pride of the country or do you think this mother over here feeding the baby is more like God ah thank you so much for all your
00:05:37 answers now but the truth I think is a lot of times you do not see God as that how many of you will actually say that God is like a mother I think answer is very very little most of us we believe and we have this impression that God looks like that and it's what Dr Peter shared um last week so in our minds a lot of times when we talk about God we have this image in impression of who God is and a lot of times whether we know or not we believe who God is because number one because of his power because of the
00:06:09 might that he has because of what he can do for us and because of that he is God very very seldom and rather we there's very seld we we be thinking that oh uh God the first attribute you talk about God is he's like a mother that is something that doesn't come across all our minds especially for Christians we will not really see it and so but if you see the the Bible passage over here in the middle of it uh Isaiah 49:15 says can a mother forget the baby at her breast so Israel was actually complaining and they felt forsaken they
00:06:42 said that you know God has been talking but so many things you deliver us but we feel Forsaken and God actually says can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on a child she has born though she may forget even if mothers can forget I will not forget you now now I've been a Christian for many many years and as I Ponder and meditate on this passage I find that actually don't really I don't really see God as who he really is I want to share with you a bit on what how does God describe
00:07:14 himself now how does God describe himself the first passage where you can see God describing himself is actually in Exodus and the story for those of you who um may not be very familiar is that in Exodus God actually saved the Israelites from slavery he delivered them out from bondage from uh from pharaoh and so there were the 10 plages uh being done the Miracles after Miracles showing that he's much he's a God over everything compared to all the gods that uh Egypt has um after that he parted the Red Sea and he fed the
00:07:50 Israelites in the desert with quail and Mana now after all this is being done if you look at it and if you were to describe yourself if God were to describe himself to to mankind who he is how do you think he would describe if you talk to any dat three any T three you ask him who he is he'll tell you all my his accomplishments what he's done what he built how he has impacted the whole world generally this is what people will tell you the accomplishments the power the success the might that they have but
00:08:23 you look at Exodus the first term the first term how God describes himself is very different I would expect that if after all these Miracles things are being done right I expect that God actually describes himself like Superman or for those of you who watched a lot of Sylvester Stalone last time I would expect that he described himself someone like Rambo anything also can do one don't you think so he saved the Israelites he did so many things okay he can actually part the sea and can feed you if you don't to talk about his M can
00:08:53 talk about I can I'm your provider can give you food this is how I would expect God to actually explain and share about himself but if you see how God really explains himself the first time that God actually shares to Moses who he is this is what God said about himself the Lord the Lord the compassionate and gracious God slow to anger abounding in love and faithfulness if you look at if you if people ask why you worship Jesus you know and the answer a lot of times is starting with oh you know he has done something for me
00:09:30 I you know last time I was sicker he healed me you know we talk about accomplishments all the time but when God starts to relate to his people the first term he used is not might is not power is not his omnipotence it is his compassion the first term he used is his compassion and that actually blows my mind because for us this is a term that shows weakness at work a lot of times you look at successful people how many of them will tell you the first thing they tell is I'm very compassionate person
00:10:00 very rarely and so this term compassion uh compassionate you see that God used is actually the word rakum in in uh Hebrew so when you see this word is from the same root as the womb it's talking about the womb of a woman can you imagine God who actually created the whole world who parted the Red Sea and the first term he used to explain himself is he is whish he's a person that actually feels like a woman you know he he actually understands and feels things compassionate means that you actually have the same passion the
00:10:36 person you feel the same thing that the person feels which means that you in your core being actually has the same feeling as the other person the ability to understand others and so it is talking about God is saying that he is like a woman able to love and to care for others and that is a term that's very different and if you see the Bible the term compassionate when it comes out over and over again 80% of the time is used to describe who God is 20% is to describe humans from this from the start you can
00:11:09 see that this is a very important term to God if you if God wants you to know who he is the first thing he wants you to know that is that he is a compassionate God he understands you he feels what you feel whatever you're going true in life he knows it not not only does he know he he feels the same pain that you feel the same joy that you have he feels it he wants to celebrate with you if you are going through disaster he wants to mourn with you he wants to hold you tight he wants to Journey with you that's the god that
00:11:43 we have and it's very different from how we actually choose leaders very different from how we see what is success in life now can you tell me all these people that you worship and these people they say are amazing how many of them would actually say they're compassionate how many will you use the word compassionate to describe them samman he just fired the entire Bo from a nonprofit become profit you talk I think all of us know but all these people here or maybe a Asia I don't know whether they still owe you any money or
00:12:12 not but you see all these people here how many of you will use the term compassionate to describe them but for us leaders are like this because when we look at leaders we look at something totally different we actually want people who have power who have might who can do things for us that is most important to us now God a lot of times it it blows our mind when we say God is like a mother because we call God our Father in heaven but if you see the Bible and you read it closely there are many many texts that
00:12:42 actually describes God as a mother or as a woman you see over here in Deuteronomy uh 32:18 you deserted the Rob who fed you you forgot the The God Who gave you birth men don't give birth Matthew 23 when Jesus actually was actually uh lamenting about Jerusalem he said that as a hand gathers the chicks under her wings you were not willing to be gathered you see Isiah 68 as a mother Comforts a child so will I comfort you so the reason why for me personally maybe not for you for me personally that I find this very eye opening is because
00:13:18 many times when I see God I see his might I see his ability his capability but many times I don't see him as a mother and maybe because when we see as you know man man uh God men and woman are created in the image of God so naturally for us actually it should be very natural for us to know that God actually has all the perfect attributes of what a woman has and so that is what we saying over here the first term is compassion that's very important to God and he wants you to know that he's like this and compassion is his nature is
00:13:53 like something that he cannot stop himself from doing he like Superman when you cry for help he cannot stop it he will come over so you see over here Genesis 4:10 the Lord said what have you done listen your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground the first murder in the Bible it says the word your brother's blood cries out to me from ground why does God act because he hears the cries of the brother Genesis 21 God heard the boy crying this talking about Ishmael when God hears the cry he
00:14:25 actually does something about it Exodus 3 it says the Lord said I've indeed seen the misery of my people and I've heard them crying because of the Cry of the people he does something judges but when they cried out to the Lord he raised up for them a deliverer and what you see is a pattern in the Bible that always happens again and again when people cry God asks but the most amazing thing is is it doesn't matter who cries you know you look at judges are those people really good people no they did evil in the sight of
00:15:01 the Lord and they cried out to God and as they cried out to God God acts when God Saves them what do they do they go back into idolatry and after that God gave them over and they actually go through trouble and what they do again they cry again and they cry again and God comes to act again you see this again and again and again and it is like I watch this uh Mandalorian and in in the Jedi there was this one one scene he said that you know it's very to catch the Jedi you know why they cannot help
00:15:33 themselves when they see people in trouble they will do something I know call it also you said that you you see Jedis you don't need to worry that they hide themselves they they put views and all that you going to torture people once you torture people the Jedis will come out that is God when you are going through trouble whatever trouble you're going through if you cry out to him he will be there he will come and save if he doesn't come and save is because you don't see it doesn't mean that he's not doing it he
00:16:05 is always there and he always saves now God's convention is not dependent on a person's marriage so if you read it again I explained to you earlier already basically no matter who it is if you cry God will do something about it so the main point is this he responds to all who cry regardless whether you are a sinner whether you're Saints there no Saints here but no matter who you are if you cry God Sav and if you use the analogy that you saw in Isaiah between um the mother and the baby what can the baby give to the
00:16:40 mother what can I give to the mother practically nothing correct all you can give is not enough sleep a lot of tired tiring nights that's all you can give and you know what parents do they always look at baby and oh smile smiling need to find a way actually think oh yeah the baby is really smiling actually not necessary know they say it's just a just a nerve reaction only there's nothing much you can get out of a baby but God will always be there for you so it comes to this it is not about whether you cry
00:17:15 uh whether you are actually a good person it is not about your capability but if you cry God always saves God always come so can a mother forget the first thing that we learn today is God's compassion God is always compassionate and as he explain himself as he Shar himself to to the Israelites the first thing he wants you to know is that this is his value over there is his character that's important for you to know now the second thing for us to learn is compassionate incarnate God's compassion actually
00:17:46 became human and if you read the text you saw that basically uh Zion or right Israel Zion which represents Israel was complaining they were actually uh they felt forsaken they said that the Lord has forgotten me and God says can a mother forget the baby at her breast so what does God do and with all the cries of Israel what does God do the answer is God Saves them why because we all desire compassion whether we say or not we all desire compassion I would venture to say that all the people that you elect if you go
00:18:22 for voting okay uh it's not our turn yet I think very soon there'll be election maybe I don't know which year but very soon when go for election the first thing you choose you don't choose a leader just because he's capable you choose a leader because you feel that he represents you you feel that he understands you is that true you feel that he will help you he knows your plight and so that is important and you see all these different scenes you have muin visiting uh his old friend during covid time you have kamla Harris who's
00:18:53 uh sorry no politics I'm not trying to go politics politics over here but she explains herself to be an Indian a black person a woman and I don't know how many other uh personas but in short she's saying that I can identify with you I understand you or this one our uh neighbor prime minister okay in Singapore our Singapore's Prime Minister who actually took the Budget Airline and everybody is very happy oh you know prime minister also take Budget Airline why because the Prime Minister identifies with you saying you know I'm
00:19:20 just like you you take airplane I don't take private jet I see in the airplane together with you also okay we all desire compassion we want to know that our leaders when the people understand us the plot we're going through the pain we going through because all of us go through pain so if you see the text from verse 1 to 12 God say that because I Hur all the cries that you have I do something and so God sends uh the servant the deliverer to come and save the people he calls to distant lands and
00:19:51 people not just to Israel but for everybody out there no matter which country no matter how far you are God calls to them and said that God will actually save them God's servant has been planned from long time ago now in fact even before you start crying God has actually planned it for the servant which is Jesus to actually come to save us but he was waiting for the right time and this servant Jesus Christ comes to GA Israel and be aike to the Gentiles which is something that is that cannot be accepted by the Jews at time you know
00:20:22 the Gentiles are these Unholy people who eat pork you know how can you save them but for God all people whether you know him or not if you cry he comes to you and there's promise of Honor for the for this Messiah even though uh there's rejection from the start ultimately he uh sets the captiv free and God will guide his people with compassion and you see the word compassion happening again and again in the text you you don't notice it you can read again again there the term compassion comes out again and again and
00:20:55 God will remove all obstacles and salvation will be widespread now so what does God do in essence the Son of God became a man so that men can become sons of God that's in essence what God did what is compassion the ultimate conviction for you to understand is that not only do I help you but I become like you I come down to your level so that when you see me you understand that I am like you for me it actually blows my mind if you see how big the world is you see the planets and all that so I did a
00:21:32 very quick U check with chat gbt and give this to you so um the Earth to to Sun the distance between the Earth to Sun is measured in astronomical units it's actually one unit so it's about 180 million kilom and if you take the entire observable universe and you combine together it's 1.7 quinon astronomical units I think qu is I still can't remember how many zeros 15 power of 15 or something like that okay you go online and find yourself but the idea is and if you look at the earth size if the size of the Earth is 1 cm which means
00:22:06 that you're totally negligible right the obser universe is of 800 trillion kilometers can you understand how big this world is and what God does is he takes all this might and power and this person created all this is even bigger than all this right you take it you compress it into one human being how do he do that why does he do that but that is God the servant comes and when you see his compassion you see it because he doesn't come looking like a Superman he comes looking exactly like you he can bleed he needs food so that
00:22:41 you understand that he really is like you so that you understand that he loves you so and if you continue reading on verse 16 it says can a mother forget even if a mother can forget I will not forget you but it continues see I have engraved you on the palms of my hands your walls are ever before me if you want to remember a person you write on a notebook law or in your house you put a photo frame law but the word engrave here is the word chisel meaning that you actually use a pick or whatever tool you
00:23:20 call that and you actually carve it on the stone now you cve on Stone and this is what you get signs car in stone permanent and benit free okay so it is something that you cannot remove but can you imagine if I calve your hand I don't calve a stone but I calve your hand because God says that I've engraved you your name who you are everyone of the of of us sitting here your names are calv on the hands of God on his palm on his palm so he no matter what he does he sees it he's always visible to him not at the back but here
00:23:59 for me I will not do that sorry I won't put your name here I won't do it but God loves you enough to say that I have engraved you on the palms of my hand and your walls are ever before me which speaks about the restoration of Israel Israel was no longer nation was actually taken away but God says that I will want to restore you I want to restore you even though you are in Babylon you your held captive I will restore you even though you don't see me doing anything the plans have been made all along the
00:24:32 Salvation the savior is planned for you all this well just waiting for the right time and so it tells us no matter what pain you're going through whether it's losing a job losing a deal health problems marital issues whatever it is you're going through God sees you he engrave you on the palm of his hands and to let you know that whatever is going through he loves you and the thing is it cannot be a punishment many times when you become a Christian you think that oh you know I'm going through a difficult time
00:25:08 why I did something wrong that day I took a bride I cut Corners in my work I wasn't nice to people so God pish me now but what is saying over here is God does not pish you God doesn't do that whatever pain you're going through if you are his people if you belong to him he loves you and whatever he does is for your good it may be a pain that you need to go through but it is always for your good it's never done spitefully to you see now you know ready don't be like that okay which parents do that
00:25:48 sometimes right give you pain so you know that you shouldn't do that again but God doesn't do that whatever he does he goes through the gentle ping way with by if you need to go through it you'll go through it but he has compassion to say that he will actually he understands what you're doing through and if you're going through pain and your suffering he understand as well so no matter what it is God loves you and so in Hebrews it says for we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our
00:26:17 weaknesses but we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are yet he did not sin so because of that we can approach God's throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive Mercy and find Grace we have a high priest Jesus who understands us who knows all the different things we are going through and so the second point we understand is God's compassion is not just words God's compassion is shown by him shrinking himself and degrading himself into human being and living in a world that we live in and you understand
00:26:53 this world that you believe in is not a beautiful world there are a lot of pain there a lot of struggles there a lot of different things the challenges and if I'm the creator of something and I see that things are not going true I wipe it out and do it again but God says that I will go through this suffering with you and I will live in this mess that you created to get it with you and journey with you so that you understand that I really love you that I understand the suffering you go through as well and the
00:27:19 third point today want to learn is God's Deliverance you see God's Deliverance doesn't stop at the cross a lot of times we understand that you know uh Christ came and died for us die for our sins but God's Deliverance doesn't stop over there you can reading in verse 17 it says your children hasten back God has a great plan for the whole world he wants the Israelites all to come back okay all the people to come back and those who L you way depart from you the enemies will be gone and saying lift up your eyes and
00:27:48 look around all your children gather and come to you which say that Suddenly at first a woman who was Barren suddenly got a lot of children coming back and all of us are children of Israel you can see that way that we are all children of God and so it says over here as surely as I live declares the Lord you will wear them all as ornaments you put them on like a bride when you save a person when you save a person for example if let's say the Kama Harris who becomes president later uh saves you and do
00:28:20 something for you gives you something for charity what does she do she will say that you know here this is my charity this is how I help you that's it goodbye but what he says over here is he's saying that not only am I helping this one time I'm bringing up you you are going to become like ornaments for me to wear you are going to become beautiful all of us are made in the image of God and God has a plan from the start that has not ended until now he did not say yell humans are terrible so cannot do much you know I just save them
00:28:53 and let them just sit here you know just take up some space no he has great plans for all of us to say that we are supposed to become like ornaments where God is proudly saying that you know Israel is proudly saying that these are my people so which means that next time when God sees you when people see you they say wow look at this person look at him wow really amazing H why oh God created him therefore God created her that's why it's so amazing you can see all the different things and so for so
00:29:21 for all of us we need to understand that God's compassion doesn't stop at Salvation when after you're saved God's work is is still continuing it is still continuing so God is perfecting Us in Philippians it says being confident of this that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus now friends all of us here are just one in a million one in a million there's no much importance for us to say but God says that every single person that you see on screen or every
00:29:58 single person sitting here God cares for you God loves you and more than that he has a plan for you if you're going through a difficult time whatever circumstance you are having God is within the storm together with you and more than that he has the plan for you and so what I want to share with you is that it is our decision on what we do our Liv Our Lives recently I attended a a an event uh with a bunch of uh business people and there was a very good analogy that I hope I can share with you I just thought about it share
00:30:43 with you and whether you can catch this or not what I say is that you know and at the end of the day when you die you go to Christ and you see God right and a lot of times we want God to say Well done you good and faithful servant but based on what you have done now how you live your life you had to ask you how do you think God will what what do think God will say when he sees you for business people maybe say yeah you know you earn a few billion okay yeah come in I'm telling you God may just say that yeah yeah you earn a few
00:31:19 billion so okay come in come in but we got we got said oh man you know I've given you so much resources I've given you so much thing i' i' I've brought so so many people across your lives you know oh how I wish you did more I just how I just wish you did more yeah you know that that 10 million give the church that's quite good but how we should just did more and friends all of us one day we meet God and the question is for us it's for us to decide how you live your life and why we whatever we do is not
00:31:53 because we don't become somebody but because of his compassion because of his love because he first came to save us because we've experienced his love because we have felt to know that he understands us he identifies with us and because of that and we know that he loves us and so we don't say that I want to serve him see God's compassion is really a case whereby he he goes Way Beyond what we can think of not only does he just become a human but he comes to serve a lot times we ask you how how to be successful in life these images
00:32:26 will never be in your mind you never read any books any self- books that tells you to be successful you need to go and learn to wash a toilet never to be successful go and take care of old people never be successful become like this lady in India feed a baby you never see something that is we see things like how to become successful uh these are qualities that Jeff Bezos have read it and see you see what compassion anything close remotely close to it no we desire to say that you need to be decisive need be tough Visionary okay
00:33:01 customer focused innovate creative these are things we say even successful these are things we do and for me personally this is a quite good saying for me you know entrepreneurs see what others can't do what others won't and accomplish what others dream only H this one very good we believe something like this we never say that oh for us you know we need to be compassionate we need to have a kind heart of people and so success for us a lot of times is having influence having wealth having power we don't say it but
00:33:31 ultimately yes we do we want people to think that we are somebody so these qualities I see here compassion and strength do not come together many times they do not come together a person who has compassion generally is because they are going through a difficult time and because of that they understand how you feel so we go through TR say y I'm like that but you very early you see Trump coming to tell you you know I understand your pain you know you migrants from Mexico I understand it okay they now do it but we understand
00:34:07 this is actually these are both good qualities you know the strength he has he has a lot of flaws but you understand the strength he has he being being shot by people he got up and what he said fight most I would run away hey go away you're not ready the strength he has is there but don't vote Trump as well okay right but you see over here this come together and what I want to share with you is this we are just another one person in a billion but with God if you can hold these two things in tension and really image and reflect who
00:34:42 God is these are all God's qualities if you can really reflect God and serve him and you obey him faithfully and do everything you you that he desires you do Life Changes a lot of times compassion in this world is because I want to take a photo of people you know I do a selfie here so that you know everybody can see that I'm amazing people do that when you give um any charity you want to take photo okay corporates do not do charity without photos do you know that okay you always need to take photo oh rather you know
00:35:13 yesterday Dr Peter sh about this I create subm why because it's my Ingenuity and my amazingness I created to save the people in Thailand that stuck in a cave but God breaks the entire idea of a leader of a great person for us God combines and Ms the two things a leader that we understand okay a general with a servant both bind together and that is the servant King that we have I share you a story um in the 1800s uh in England long long time ago in 1800s before I was born there was this saying drunk for a penny they drunk
00:35:59 for two penes uh because of Ingenuity of people at a long long time ago people drank beer but gin was then invented the Gin they had is not the Gin the same as now this Gene is actually a very low quality substance that has a lot of um um poisonous chemicals inside but people like to drink it why it's dirt chip so is has this saying drunk you want to get drunk a penny is enough you de drunk two pencils is enough for you to get it drunk so in such Circumstance the whole society was going through many different
00:36:32 ailments people just die after drinking and after drinking some of them instead of going going sleepy after like drinking beer they started to act violently and there a lot of societal ills at the time and there was this guy there was a quicker quicker businessman quickers at the time were actually being discriminated because they don't live like others they don't follow what Society does but John cabur who was a quick at time said that Society had lot ailments because of liquor people were dying families were
00:37:15 breaking apart the poor were getting worse and worse because they don't have self-control it gets worse and worse and he decided to say that I want to come up with a drink a different drink a drink that when you drink it you won't die you won't get drunk and your life can change and so what he did is he actually started selling chocolate drink and you see this person it's not about his wisdom or his intelligence only but is because of his Devotion to God because he loves God and because Christ saved him everything he does is
00:37:53 different he was devoted to temper movement which means that he says no to liquor doesn't drink at all and he tries to convince and persuade people not to drink as well besides that as I mentioned to you he created this chocolate drink as a substitute for alcohol but other than that he did many many other things he was very against uh this chimney boys who go and sweep the chimney apparent is very dangerous for them do it and young little children who don't get to go to school they need do all this work he is very against it and
00:38:22 he actually was involved in creating the machines to actually uh make this obsolet as well and he r created a foreigner of rspca which is actually the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to animals and all this happens because he found the Lord Jesus Christ because of the compassion of Christ he has compassion to others and what we do in life is many times as you go out tomorrow to work as you go to your homes there's always a status quo there's always a standard modus oper that everybody will do the question is you
00:38:56 need to ask yourself what does God say about this business I'm doing what does God say about this job what does God say about this word I'm uttering this sentence I'm saying is God happy about it this God who has compassion has saved me who has died for me who he's walking with me and understands the pain I'm going through what does he say about it but ultimately for us a lot of times we can choose because God's Deliverance has started in your life and God will continue to wash you until you're white as snow until you
00:39:31 become like him and you are supposed to become like him and this John cury even built he is a crazy good boss I don't want to B him he created a whole Township like that for his workers to stay and he does quiet time with them every day he sings with them he prays with them and he gives a nice place to stay so they say you stay in nice place and make chocolate drink together the way he thinks about the word is so different as I invite the uh worship him up yeah as we're going to be ending soon I just want to share with you that
00:40:04 ultimately you have a choice of how you live your life but God is not just a God who created the heavens and earth and let it be many times I come from Gospel Hall and that's what I have in my mind God is this amazing God that did everything sitting on his throne and watching watching whether you're doing the right thing or not watching whether you do anything wrong and later on maybe you need to pray for your forgiveness but this God that we have is actually more like a mother a mother who says who wants to
00:40:37 celebrate with you who wants to do things together with you when you're happy he wants he wants to be happy with you when you're going through if you're hungry she wants to feed you when you're sad she wants to comfort you when you don't know how to wear your shirt she wants to wear it for you the god that we serve is a god like that just like mothers and so because of that if you're mother if you're Homemaker please do not tell people you don't do anything you are like God you're serving just like
00:41:12 God verse 15 says can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on her child she has born though she may forget I will not forget you see I've engraved you on the palms of my hands your walls are ever before me this is not just a description for alre sick God actually engraved us on his palms on the day that Jesus was actually on the cross and the nails Pier his hands and one day when you see him he will have KN scar hands because of his love for us and so if you ever wonder are you just a do are
00:42:07 you just Irrelevant in this world whatever sickness whatever pain you're going through God wants you to know that you will not be forgotten because he engrave your name on his hands and as we sing and worship this servant king of us look at these words that's being said over here look at them he came not to serve not not to be served but to serve and give his life so that we might live I mention you how big this word is it is unfathomable to me that hands that flung Stars into space you surrender to C news I spend a
00:42:59 pass the time to worship team
