Compassion

Abraham: How beautiful it is to behold individuals helping one another, upholding and supporting. It is wonderful to see that your level of compassion is the measure in which you receive compassion back. To be truly compassionate we must stand in our brothers shoes. We must look through their eyes. We must find a heart connection.

The compassionate soul longs to create lasting solutions for their brothers and sisters in need. To perform compassionate acts for the sake of being guilt-free because your fellows are in need is misunderstanding. To be compassionate because you feel pity upon your fellows is also not quite right.

Compassion is a heart and soul connection that says 'I am feeling what you are feeling. I see you could use some help.' Compassion asks you not to sacrifice begrudgingly, but happens naturally without hesitation. Most of the time most people only wish to be listened to and understood — not pitied or pressured into various solutions, but just to feel that they are not alone.

The compassionate person listens without underlying agenda's or intentions. The compassionate person is not tempted to bestow their wisdom to have others look upon them with awe. True compassion is feeling that you truly want to help without anything in return. It is wanting to help because of your expanding love for Father. The compassionate person inevitably grows closer to Father because of their pure intentions to be open to His words to help their fellows.

You can be encouraging and uplifting in your compassionate ministry without showing forth pity and dis-empowering individuals to feel unconfident and hopeless. You can validate their difficulties by relating to them your personal experience. If you have not personal experience to draw upon, then certainly can you at the very least show you are interested in what they are saying.

In your desire to want to help without personal recognition will you be connected to Father's words, His instructions for your fellows, His mind. That is ministry, my friends. That is active ministry.
