Compassion literally means to “suffer together” with someone in their suffering.  We must ask God to give us a greater capacity for compassion toward others and to then manifest it toward others, just as He so graciously manifests it toward us.  He will grant that request because it is obviously His will for us.

Psalm 103:11-14

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. 14 For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.

Psalm 116:5

The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

Colossians 3:12

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

“Compassion means someone else’s heartbreak becomes your heartbreak. Another’s suffering becomes your suffering. True compassion changes the way we live.” ~ Unknown

The Lord bless you and keep you…
