Can you say that you are always aware or conscious of the state of sufferings, hurts,
loss, or despair of others? Compassion reflects a practical response to a state of
another's brokenness or suffering and emanates from a tender heart more than an
emotional feeling. Although it can be initiated out of personal concerns, emotional
connection or sympathy, it occurs when there is a real intentional love-based action to
care for another person in a state of brokenness and suffering. The acts of compassion
is not only practical but a natural response to others' state of being-to walk with
someone in that person's wilderness state of suffering or brokenness.
