Delivered because of His Compassion...

But as soon as they were at rest, they again did what was evil in your sight. Then you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies so that they ruled over them. And when they cried out to you again, you heard from heaven, and in your compassion you delivered them time after time

Nehemiah 9:28

The Benefit of Sympathy...

Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found none.

Psalm 69:20

Sympathy is closely linked with compassion. Some people regard sympathy as of no benefit. And in due course they throw away compassion too. Sympathy is conveying our feelings of understanding pain and hardship of the other person to him. In many ways sympathy is beneficial.

No Mere Men...

You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?

1 Corinthians 3:3

To be jealous of others is to be worldly. We are not called to be mere men. We are to be different because of the power of the Holy Spirit in us.

Filled with Jealousy...

When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying.

Acts 13:45

Jealousy is a feeling of fear of losing what one has to a rival. The feeling provokes action which tries to restore things as they were before.

Jealousy More Dangerous Than Anger...

Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?

Proverbs 27:4

Jealousy is difficult to confront unlike anger and fury. Jealousy is a simmering tension that when it erupts fully causes great harm to others.
