The definition of compassion is, sympathetic pity, and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.
Most people feel sympathy for someone who is dealing with death of a loved one, or has some kind of serious illness. This is a feeling that our creator gave to each of us.
A problem that many people have at times, is a total lack of compassion. We have a tendency to look at people as being solely responsible for the situation they find themselves in. Examples could be, cancer from smoking, or liver disease from drinking, and so on. There are many others.
What seems as self-inflicted problems, are usually the result of bad decisions. Now we come to a very contentious statement. satan causes all of these problems. When a person is far from God, satan comes in and leads a person to make bad decisions, and a lifetime that leads to destruction.
As Christians, we should look at other people with compassion, and not judgementally. Remember, but for the grace of God, we would be in their place. Next time you see some unfortunate person, ask yourself what Jesus would do. If you can help, help, if that's not possible pray for them. It's not a bad idea to pray for them anyway. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves You
Prayer of Salvation
Lord Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins, and come into my heart as my personal Savior.
Thank You Lord
Amen
