Do I think being compassionate will save the world?
No, it can only save our souls, and to the World a soul is less than a nothing.
Do I think being compassionate can save someone else?
God alone saves. If we are compassionate to another, it is God being compassionate through us.
Do I want others to be compassionate to me?
Do I want others to be compassionate to me?
Yes, but I want to be compassionate to them regardless.
Why?
Why?
I refuse to believe that others are different from myself.
When any flesh suffers, a part of me suffers.
Compassion is the weakest force in the world, weaker than a breeze. It molds the strongest souls. It takes strength to believe in compassion in a bad world.
God's power in this world is as light as a feather, but no one can overcome it. It is gentle as a lamb, but no one can destroy it. It is as invisible as air, but no one can fail to breathe it.
Compassion is the vehicle of God's work with us, which is unity. That we would no longer be alienated from Him, but in harmony with Him.
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
-John 17:20-23
