Having compassion for others arises from our love for our Savior, who suffered far more than we can imagine. I could easily wallow in my hurts, building anger and resentment. I could easily allow bitterness to rule my thinking but I do not want to be a bitter old man. Hebrews 12:15 came to mind last Saturday as I had thought about a number of difficult issues I’m confronted with - “ See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;”
Focusing on Him and how He is providing so many clear thoughts to dwell on is huge. Our Savior is the only solution to my bitterness. He is not just an option, He is the only option.
