Todays Bible Lesson is one on warmth and compassion. I understand God made us all different with different strengths and abilities. I know what we all respond to events differently, some warmer and some cooler. I understand that. There is a line though, in my humble opinion, on common human compassion and sympathy. Giving congratulations, sharing in grief, giving thoughts and prayers (and meaning it) are actions we should all participate in. When that is missing, it hurts. No matter the reason it was or wasn’t done, it still hurts.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32

“This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.'” —Zechariah 7:9-10

Compassion – “The origin of the word helps us grasp the true breadth and significance of compassion. In Latin, ‘compati’ means “suffer with.” Compassion means someone else’s heartbreak becomes your heartbreak. Another’s suffering becomes your suffering. True compassion changes the way we live.”- from Compassion.com
