What is compassion?
Compassion is the essence of love and empathy towards others, regardless of their circumstances. It is a call to action for those in need, just as Jesus did when he healed the sick and comforted the broken hearted.
Ephesians 4-32
And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another even as God in Christ forgave you.
Compassion reflects God's unconditional love for humanity guiding us to show kindness, forgiveness and selflessness and putting others needs before our own. As it says in the Mark 12:31 - Love your neighbour as yourself.
Compassion leads to a deeper connection with both God and man. In this verse, It tells us how to exhibit kindness and compassion towards each other as God extended his forgiveness to us through Jesus Christ. It is important to forgive others by maintaining harmonious relationships with each other becoming useful, helpful and kind to one another, tender hearted, compassionate, understanding loving, forgiving one another.
We should be readily and freely to forgive them.
For eg:We're all aware of the damage that toxic waste sites do to the soil, the water and the air and the people nearby. Negative emotions are like that. You can't bury the anger, the hurt the rejection or the betrayal inside and think it's not going to contaminate and poison you.
When you collect all negative emotions, they never die and they always leak out and resurface the poison that will contaminate not just your dreams, your attitude and vision, but it will poison your relationship with people in your life.
It will drain out your joy, your peace, your happiness your creativity, etc. But the good news is that you can get that toxic waste out of your life, all the bitterness, the guilt & the resentment out of your life. You have to forgive and release the person and surrender. What happened to you it wasn't right what they did, but you have forgiven, so you can be free and be blessed .
Prayer
