” Compassion means to be moved within oneself as a mother is moved by tenderness and concern for the children of her womb. It is especially associated with feeling the suffering of others.
Saint Paul spoke as such when he said the greatest of the spiritual gifts is love, his more abstract term for what Jesus meant by compassion. “

Postmodern emergent struggling to recover from the intellectual and cultural depredations of modern evangelicalism.
Love is what God is, love is why Jesus came, and love is why he continues to come, year after year to person after person. May you experience this vast, expansive, infinite, indestructible love that has been yours all along. May you discover that this love is as wide as the sky and as small as the cracks in your heart no one else knows about. And may you know, deep in your bones, that love wins.
