BLESSINGS FROM COMPASSION

My Dear Precious Child,
     After teaching His disciples about a person being either clean by displaying My character, or the person being unclean by displaying the character of the devil, Jesus withdrew from that city and went on to another one that was not a Jewish city.  A woman from that district came running to Jesus and begged Him loudly to please come with her because she had a daughter who was cruelly possessed by a demon. Jesus did not answer her, and the disciples implored Him to send her away because she was crying so hard while following them.  Jesus answered His disciples by saying that He was only sent to minister to the house of Israel.  (Matthew 15:22-24)
    The woman persisted over and over again for Jesus to help her, praising Him and worshiping Him.  Jesus replied that it wasn't right to take the bread from the children and give it to the dogs, meaning to take His healing power and give it to the pagans instead of the Jews. The woman asked mercifully again and told Jesus that the dogs even eat the crumbs that fall from the children's table.  Jesus told the woman that she had great faith  and so it would be done to her exactly as she wished.  Her daughter was cured from that moment, proving that whoever calls upon the Lord will be saved from their calamity. (Acts 2:21)
    Jesus continued and went into the hills again but a crowd followed Him bringing the lame, the dumb, the blind and the maimed.  He healed all of them because their faith was great. The crowds praised Him, thanked Him and glorified Him.  Again a long time passed and Jesus had compassion and pity upon the people so He called His disciples together and again Jesus assessed the matter, asking how much food they had because the people had been there a long time and Jesus did not want them to faint from lack of food and become exhausted on the way home.  The disciples, just like in the situation before, answered that they only had seven loaves of bread and a few small fish.  The disciples again asked where they would get food to feed the four thousand men, not counting  their wives and children.
     Again Jesus took the seven loaves of bread and the few small fish, blessed them, broke the bread into pieces and fed the entire crowd, and again there were many pieces of bread and pieces of fish that were left over.  Because of the crowd having seen Jesus perform a multitude of healings, their faith was high and Jesus was able to perform another miracle in their sight.  In His compassion and mercy, Jesus continued to be amenable to the pleas of everyone who came to Him for His healing power and His authoritative power in casting out demons.  My love is always accompanied by My love and mercy.  They all flow from My heart of compassion.
    People saw the healings and miracles and they gave testimonies of what they saw to other people.  Because they had heard the testimonies, their faith in Him increased which allowed Him to be able to do His mighty works by the power of My Holy Spirit who was ministering through Him.
    My mercy, compassion and love are always present when testimonies are spoken.  I am made real in testimonies.
    Your Father of Mighty Works Through Human Beings
