COMPASSION

Compassion and Sacrifice work together
Compassion is selflessness
It's about caring for the other person.
The needs, the wants of the other person
One of the attributes of a Proverbs 31 woman

"She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy....... Proverbs 31:20"

Compassion is not about feeling sorry for someone.
It's you going out of your way to help someone in need.
There is a difference between compassion and feeling sorry.
Feeling sorry is an emotion.
Compassion comes with action- it's a doing word.
You go out of your way to help but not to the extent you are in lack or need yourself.
Do not go above what you can handle.
Where do we get our compassionate heart?
Where do we get the motivation to have compassion? 
The answer is simple.
Jesus- He showed compassion in its truest form.

"Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.......Matthew 14:14"

Please Lord, Give us a compassionate heart.
