Do you believe thoughts and pictures can be inspired by God? If so, you will appreciate along with me that this is exactly what occurred in these stories. Why should this have to be and for what purpose? A good question! Let us give a particular scenario. If you saw a little child crying after falling down, or the expression of pain written across the face of an old lady struggling with arthritis in her legs whilst carrying shopping, would you feel anything within yourself and wish you could help somehow? There would probably be two types of responses to these situations. One person might feel the situation required help, but would simply walk on by thinking, Oh what a shame! Another person, perhaps herself a mother of a child of similar age, would rush with immediate concern to help as if identifying herself personally with the child’s need and pain and feeling it all the more because she has a child herself! Further, the struggling old lady would also be treated with practical passion and offered help in some way. Both people saw and felt the pain exhibited before them, but only the second was prepared to act outside the box without any sense of inconvenience, reserve or embarrassment. Well, I believe God is like the second person. Remember the story Jesus told of The Good Samaritan? God has compassion*. It is part of His agape love towards each one, and this is all included in that Golden Rule: do to others as you would have them do to you! There exists much pain and suffering in the world today. Each one of the stories in this book will take the reader into observing some of the needs of others. The reader must imagine for themselves what God might say or do to remedy these needs. This is what I mean by having inspired thoughts and pictures. God seeks to choose people who will see as he sees, feel as He feels and act upon situations just as He would. If I say I love God, then I must learn to love what He loves – PEOPLE! *Jesus
