Compassion means you’re willing to suffer with someone.

We can get caught up in a lot of negativity when things don't go our way. And sometimes life can be really hard. But even in those moments, we can still choose to be grateful for something each and every day. What are you grateful for today?
God has an awesome plan for you. You might not see what He is doing. You might not know how He is working. But when you step out and show a little courage, demonstrate a little boldness, you are going to be amazed with what He can do with your life!
In this life, we will suffer, just like Christ. He was tempted and tried, just like you and me. But many times, we don’t find our deepest calling or purpose without suffering along the way. Jesus is our model for both passion and compassion despite life's circumstances!
Discipline, endurance and work ethic are valuable, but they have more meaning when they are connected to a higher purpose. Today, ask yourself the question: Why am I doing what I’m doing?
“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” Psalm 91:1-2
