Compassion

"You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate." Luke 6:36
Compassion: deep awareness of suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.
Compassionate: Feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others: Showing Compassion
To be compassionate, as God asks us to be, we must first have compassion. Each and every morning, along with Love, Joy, Wisdom, Grace, and Mercy, I pray for compassion. Not for God to have compassion on me, but for me to have compassion for the World. I want to always be able to see the hurt in the world. I want to be able to look through the eyes of Jesus and see those in need, in all types of needs. I want to see the lost, helpless, fatherless, motherless, homeless, childless, starving, addicted, hopeless, widow, unloved, and unwanted. But not only do I want to see them, I want to help them, hold them, clothe them, feed them, love them, care for them, cure them, give them hope, give them a future, encourage them, take them in, and most of all show them Jesus. Why, might you ask? Because Jesus did all of these things for me, and I want to be like Him.
"Since God chose you to be Holy people whom he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." Colossians 3:12.
Compassion like love crosses all barriers, all borders, and all lines!
