Christ's
compassion is pouring over us every moment. We cannot find Christ's compassion
by physical or mental effort. We cannot find His compassion on our own with
just our own effort. To receive Christ's compassion we must have the heart to
receive His compassion. A heart able to receive Christ's compassion is a heart
already giving compassion. Receiving Christ's compassion requires we open our
hearts to Him and to others. We must open our hearts to His love for us. We
must open our lives to His will. We must open our minds to His tenderness. To
receive Christ's compassion we must not only open up our heart, but we must
also be wise enough to close off our mind to the darkness seeking to destroy
His touch within us. Receiving Christ's compassion means we open our arms to
Christ because He opens His arms to us. To receive Christ's compassion we must
give up our selfishness. We must then give in to His call upon our hurting
heart to receive His love and Holy Spirit. We must give away His compassion in
order to receive His compassion. In everyday life, the more compassionate and
caring we are toward others, the more compassionate and caring Christ will be
toward us.
