Bread in the Deserted Place
“In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat. If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.” His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?” He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude. They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also. They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over. Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.” (Mark 8:1-9 WEB)
Jesus had compassion on those who followed Him and were hungry. They were in a deserted place.
Many believers are experiencing lack in this season. Some are losing their jobs, others are losing their businesses, seeing a decline in income, and economic prospects seem bleak. You could say it is like looking for food in a deserted place.
Abba God whose heart is compassionate just as Jesus is, wants you to be well-supplied.
He can feed you with more than enough bread, even in the deserted place. Nothing is impossible for God.
When His supply comes, it is not going to be a trickle. It will be more than you need!
Have a good opinion of your Heavenly Father. He is not trying to teach you a lesson by making you starve. He is the one who has compassion on the hungry.
Jesus multiplying the loaves and fishes is a miracle that appears in all four gospels. God knows that we tend to worry about provision, and He wants us to believe that He will surely supply our needs, no matter how huge the demands upon us seem to be. God will still make a way for us.
Go ahead and thank Him for multiplying your provision. In His perfect timing, you will surely see His goodness in the land of the living!
The 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ in the four gospels show us God’s heart of love and Grace towards us. As you explore them in “Messiah’s Miracles”, faith will arise in your heart to receive miraculous breakthroughs in your own life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

living compassion 在 Facebook 的最佳貼文
One of our first outings to dine-in for Ben's birthday and I have to say, I was a little anxious and worried at first but with the proper SOPS from the restaurant and us practising it as well, we felt safer. That aside, I see many people judging others who go out, and vice versa, those going out judging those who stay-in. During this period, let's have compassion and hold judgments to yourself because those who are out need to do it to make a living because many people are suffering, and perhaps many go out to get some fresh air as they need it for their mental health as we are social creatures whereas for those who are home, they perhaps have comorbidities, or couldn't take the vaccine due to health issues, etc. So, this post is a call to have more compassion during these trying times, and the world adjusting to the new normal 🙏

living compassion 在 DDMTV法鼓山網路電視台 Youtube 的最佳貼文
People all wish to live a life of peace and well-being, but how do we find the inner tranquility and attain the true happiness of ease and peace, in this constantly changing world?
Having chosen “Peace and Ease” as its annual theme for the year 2021, Dharma Drum Mountain wants to encourage the general public to always treat others with compassion, thereby being at peace at all times; and apply wisdom to bring peace to themselves, thereby having freedom wherever they go. Also, we should keep an even mind in looking at all the favorable and undesirable situations, as well as the gains and losses in life, while applying a mind of empathy, tolerance, and loving care to safeguard each other and show concern for all sentient beings.
Through this film, let us learn the Buddhist wisdom of living an unobstructed life inspired by Master Sheng Yen’s words of Dharma, and, also, we’d like to invite everyone to make a resolution to be the master of our own mind, transforming our adversity into true compassion and insight for the benefit of self and others, thereby living a life of brightness, enjoying peace and ease.

living compassion 在 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu Youtube 的精選貼文
【真佛密法的實證】(English version below)
1999年農曆八月十五早上七點,我皈依了聖尊蓮生活佛。今天是我的二十歲生日。
回顧這些自己在,時光的洪流中,隨着業力掙扎蛻變的照片,由衷的感恩,吾之根本傳承上師,聖尊蓮生活佛,大慈大悲的救渡,讓吾在這一世,還能聽聞甚深的佛法,且還能修習完整的密法,眞的是佛恩浩大啊!
祂也讓吾明白,佛經中述及的不可思議。從祂的傳法中,祂教會吾什麼是慈悲,什麼是勇猛精進,什麼是長養菩提心,如何從俗走向聖,如何截斷欲望的洪流,次第淺進的明心見性、自主生死、還本帰元。
爲了报达佛恩於萬一,吾願意以過去不堪入目的醜態,來證明眞佛密法,的实在修持,眞的能够讓吾等眾生,由濁到淨,永斷生死苦海,徹底的解脫,還本帰元。
.....................
On the 15th day of the 8th Lunar Month, at 7am, I took refuge in His Holiness Living Buddha. Today is my 20th birthday.
As I reminisced over these photographs, and witnessed my karmic metamorphosis over the passage of time, I am deeply grateful to my Root Guru, His Holiness Living Buddha Lian Sheng, for His greatly compassionate salvation, such that in this lifetime of mine, I can hear the profound Dharma and study and practice a complete tantric Dharma practice. This is truly great grace from the Buddha!
He also enlightens me on the inconceivables in the Buddhist sutras. In His Dharma propagation, He had taught me what is compassion, courage and diligence and what it means to cultivate Bodhicitta for long. He also showed me how to walk the Path of Transformation from a mortal to a sage. He imparts Dharma wisdom on how to end the continuous deluge of mortal desires, and advance on the path to Enlightenment in sequence, gain autonomy in birth and death and returning to Source.
In order to repay the Buddha’s Grace, I am most willing to disclose my ugly self of the past and be the living proof that the True Buddha Tantric Practices thoroughly transformed me, from turbidity to purity, giving me salvation from the suffering Sea of Life and Death. A thorough liberation, a return to Source.
