Compassion

Ezekiel 18:7 New Living Translation (NLT)

⁷ He is a merciful creditor, not keeping the items given as security by poor debtors. 

He does not rob the poor but instead gives food to the hungry and provides clothes for the needy.

Feelings

Feelings driving your controls … who do you think you’re fooling?

You have not died to self and soul … your flesh is still ruling

Through your feelings and reaction … you may understand

Your particular condition … in your relationship to man.

Points of your perception … should be easily defined

Unless you keep on adding … pollution to your mind

Surely love is first … and then joy, peace and kindness

With goodness, self-control and gentle ... to keep from blindness.

Long suffering would be next … faithful to make complete

As dying to self then … will deliver you from defeat?

Is weakness a fruit of the spirit … or a just way of insurance?

For assurance is inherited ... through cleanliness and endurance
