The LORD is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made. — Psalm 145:9
To be honest with you, I have often puzzled over how God will judge the world. After all, so many people are products of deception. How can they be made to pay the full price for their own gullibility? I don’t know the answer to that. But I know this: God has compassion on all He has made.
God’s compassion rises above pain. Jesus met His persecutor, Saul, on the road to Damascus. The Risen Lord could have easily killed this fanatic who led men, women and children away to slaughter. But, instead, Jesus turned Saul’s (Paul’s) whole life into a testimony of the compassion of God.
How will God’s compassion factor into His judgment on the Last Day? I don’t know. I just know that it will, and yet it won’t keep God from being 100% just and righteous.
And the more God works on me, the more I have compassion on others. More and more, I see sinners less as rotten people, and more as precious people who have been marred within just like me. As Christ’s ambassadors we carry the compassion of God into our world.

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
