Youth peeps here are a few reminders from tonight: Escaping Tunnel Vision....seeing people the way Jesus sees them Seeing other people through compassion - God see’s every person as someone with real concerns and a real life and God’s heart beats for every single one of them. - Compassion is the ability to see people with empathy, with sympathy, with understanding and with concern. - Compassion recognizes the divine value that God has placed within each person he has created. How do we develop compassion for the people who are all around us? - Realize that every person has a story. - Every one of us has hurts, fears, successes and failures. We have a story. But as long as we allow people to remain faceless, we’ll never be able to develop compassion for them. - At the end of our lives, nothing we do will outweigh the compassion, the empathy we’ve shown for those people in our path. - Realize that God will hold us responsible for the measure of compassion we have given to others, because of the amazing compassion we have been given. The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?” But the good Samaritan reversed the question: “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?” – Martin Luther King Jr youtube/watch?v=P5AkNqLuVgY
