A Compassionate God

I am reading this book and came across a quote that I really wanted to share. So here you go:

"God is a compassionate God. That is the good news brought to us in and through Jesus Christ. He is God-with-us, who finds nothing human alien and who lives in solidarity with us. He is a servant- God who washes our feet and heals our wounds, and he is an obedient God who listens and responds to his divine Father with unlimited love. In fellowship with Jesus Christ, we are called to be compassionate as our Father is compassionate. In and through him, it becomes possible to be effective witnesses to God's compassion and to be a sign of hope in the midst of a despairing world."

Here is a photo of Caralina helping at the weekly outreach to the people from the local villages. They come for medical care and food for children in need. In Uganda, 1 out of every 4 households is caring for at least one orphan. In a country with an average annual income of $450, caring for additional children can be a significant burden, particularly if they have any special needs. This program assists with providing food and medical care for some children so that they can be raised by family.
