Your Challenge for Today: Ask God to help you feel compassion toward someone who hurt you or bothered you.
Imagine what they might possibly be struggling with and try to feel at least a bit of compassion for them.

Are you cynical about the holiness of others? Do you see the goodness around you? When confronted with a behavior that you dislike are you able to see the same flaw, in some form, in yourself?

Think about an incident where someone hurt you.
Now pretend you were in their shoes & write the story from their perspective.
What might they have been thinking or feeling @ that time? What might have motivated their actions?
