4 Bold Ideas about Compassion that Can Transform Your Life in 2012

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 09:33 AM PST

1. We often confuse the heart of compassion that requires a response with the feeling of sympathy that remains idle.

2. Sometimes I would like to ask God why He allows poverty, suffering, and injustice when He could do something about it. But, I'm afraid He would ask me the same question. [-Anonymous]

3. Need is everywhere, yet we too often fail to see it. If we don't see it, we won't be bothered by it. If we're not bothered by it, we won't engage it. By our neglect, we become the oppressor.

4. All movement toward mission requires sacrifice. Nothing of great value comes without great cost.
