Compassion
Compassion’s root meaning is “to suffer with.” Without compassion, we cannot “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God” (see Micah 6:8). And yet, we are overwhelmed, sometimes, by the needs of the world and find ourselves in a place of “compassion fatigue.” How do you spiritually ground yourself so that you can respond with compassion to the needs around you?
