Then said the Lord, Thou has had pit on the gourd, for the which thou has not laboured neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.
And should not I spare Nineveh, the great city, wherin are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle.
Jonah 4:10-11

Compassion:- deep awareness of the suffering of another
Fear- reason for dread-aprehension
We are called as believers to love others. Whether they return the love or not does not determine who we are called to love. Someone who is considering an abortion, someone who has had an abortion and those who participate in abortion may not respond in kind to your love for them. Love is not always reciprocated. Can we show compassion to those who do not love us in return? Can we share with them the reason to dread making wrong choices? Apart from Jesus this would be difficult if not impossible. But through the love of Jesus that is shed abroad in our heart we are able to bestow both compassion and share the truth with love, mercy and boldness.
Ask the Lord to teach us how to love others. Perhaps we ourselves need to experience the love that Jesus has for us. Ask Him. Then ask Him to use you to love others. Thank you Lord Jesus for your unmeasurable love that is poured out toward us.
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungoldy lust.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And of some have compsasssion, making a difference:
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire: hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you fautless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power,
both now and ever. Amen.
JUDE 17-25
