COMPASSION

Compassion...  with passion...  is essential in building up strong and true relationships.

We all have this ability to care for and look out for each other and yet, there would seem to be a lack of compassion in this great yet complex world of ours.

Perhaps the answer lies in being honest and realising that each one of us is flawed in some way or other.

St. Paul is quoted as saying... ' The good I wish to do, I do not.  The evil I wish not, I do.'

I could say the same myself because we are like two persons, a natural self and a spiritual self.

With reflection and a desire to do good and be an honest person, our spiritual self in put in control.

We have an inner strength to overcome our natural and flawed self.

The choice is always ours.

God doesn't force us to be a compassionate and loving person.

We will be prompted and guided by good example and the efforts we make to overcome our failings.

And yet, it's good that we fail at times because then we learn to understand the failings of others and develop a compassionate heart.

We will become what we want to be.  Our good will will guide us and the efforts we make will do the rest, always with Divine Guidance..
