Life robs us of compassion. As little children, we tend to be naturally gentle, empathetic, and sensitive. But as we grow into adulthood, it’s a fight to keep our hearts tender. Maybe it's time to start rethinking compassion. What does the Word say about its importance, and how can we cultivate it in our lives and in the church?
