To live compassionately, we must not only see the pain others are going through, we must often overlook the pain that their pain is causing us. This means many times that we must nurture a forgiving attitude. One way to do this is to remember our own need of forgiveness and that God gives it to us every day. Beyond forgiveness, we can then express compassion with a kindness that seeks to alleviate another’s pain.
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." — Eph. 4:32“Conversations Within” ts 3/20/2021
