It is the will of God that we share our sorrows and have compassionate hearts for one another.  If we are truly followers of Christ, we will gladly follow that path.  It certainly makes the journey easier and even more pleasurable.

Remember Matthew 9:36: “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”

Christ knows just how lost we feel sometimes, and he has a heart of compassion for us.  How comforting that is, and how comforting that can be when we share his compassion with others.  Christ challenges us to forsake our own desires and to act compassionately toward others, particularly those in need or distress.

Is your compassion showing?
