Compassion touches lives. What a difference it makes when someone listens, understands and loves us enough to care..genuinely, faithfully, unconditionally and unselfishly.
I wonder. What would happen in this world of brokenness, pain, suffering and shame if we truly...cared? What would happen if we asked others how they are doing...and waited for an answer? What would happen if we listened more and talked less? What would happen if we were more concerned about compassion than criticizing? Loving instead of labeling? Encouraging instead of ignoring? Helping instead of hurting?
It seems that those who show the most compassion have been through the most difficult circumstances. Perhaps they have learned the value of knowing someone truly cares when nothing else makes sense.
May compassion become important enough to share...in a world so desperate for someone to care.♥~thl 2 Corinthians 1: 3>4
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, an sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross)
