Being Sensitive
“Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” — 1 John 4:8
Jesus wept tears of compassion at the graveside of a friend. He mourned over Jerusalem because as a city it had lost its appreciation of the things of the Spirit. His great heart was sensitive to the needs of others. To emphasize the importance of man’s love for men, He revised an old commandment to make it read, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” This generation is rough and tough, even boasting about how tough they are. However, until you have learned the value of compassionately sharing others’ sorrow, distress, and misfortune, you can't know real happiness. May God sensitize our hearts with His compassion so that we may truly love others.
