One of the songs got me to thinking. I didn't write down all the words but the first verse talked about folks in the hospital waiting to see a doctor and suffering.
The second verse talked about Christians in church who could not pray but suffered due to evil.
The third went something like this. All you in church put your heads together [unite] and pray for Haiti. Ask God for pity for her. Haiti can change if together we believe in God.. it can be the solution.
Yes the solution to Haiti's, the sick, the suffering can be found in our loving Lord and Savior.
But have I ever prayed for the Lord to pity someone? If I did, time erased the memory.
Pity "the feeling of sorrow or compassion caused by the suffering and misfortune of others." Yes, my God embodies pity. He died because of love but also pity. I'm thankful He pities me and the world.
I think that in America our culture teaches us to scorn pity. "Don't pity me." But in my opinion the world would be a better place if more folks learned to pity. Not just to feel pity but act on that pity to touch the suffering with His love.

Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. Pity has totally become a negative word in America. But praise the Lord that he pities us!!
