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 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 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 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.
