“Compassion is the divine in mankind (just as cruelty is the diabolical in us). It’s God’s promptings to us to help the helpless, parent the orphan, feed the hungry, clothe the cold, and raise the fallen. A compassionless Believer is an oxymoron. As Jesus cares, so should we.” Pastor/Author/Keynote Speaker, Ken Gurley, The Book on Prayer, pg. 251 (words in parenthesis added by me, dkb): Matthew 9:36… and, sadly, Matthew 24:12.
