Compassion

Exactly what the title says. What does it mean to show kindness and compassion for someone or something?

Not to compromise to the lies of 'fuzzy feelings', but to say the truth in the most kind and polite way.

To hurt when someone else hurts, to reach out to those who suffer instead of ignoring them.

Compassion is God refraining from raining down hellfire and brimstone on America for our sins (which we so richly deserve), for the benefit of those who are not lost.

How about for the benefit of those who are lost, Groo? I would say that God would hold back judgement so that those who are lost can find Him.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Sodom and Gomorrah here (or Hollywood and D.C.), except this time there are more than 10 righteous people here.

By lost I mean those lost by choice who have no intention of even seeking Him. Those souls who caused His agony in the garden when Christ foresaw how many people would reject His impending sacrifice, even though freely offered....
