Living From The HEART of COMPASSION

Living from the heart of compassion is what I call living authentically!

To live authentically is to live life true to who you really are; to live from the centre or core of your being; to be in touch with and completely yield to your inner deep wiring.

Our hearts were designed for COMPASSION.
When the all-wise God was making you, He carefully placed within you something called BOWEL or a HEART of COMPASSION – the capacity to be able to enter into someone else’s world and feel what they are feeling.

COMPASSION is from the Greek sumpathos; meaning to share feelings and emotions.

COMPASSION is a deep awareness of the suffering of another, coupled with the will to help them or relieve it.
This is what makes us truly human. Without compassion, we are simply heartless!

When we go against our true selves, when we refuse to yield to our inner design for compassion, we tend to experience friction within us. Our very life revolts against us. We feel dis-comfort, dis-ease, un-rest. We are dis-heartened.

Can you remember a time when you saw a need that you could meet, but rather turned the other way?
How did you feel? Fantastic?
No!
We never feel great when we refuse to help others. We feel terrible.

COMPASSION is the doorway into the innermost parts of your being. It churns the very visceral parts of you. It turns on your love nature, impacts your emotions, judgment and reason.

Our God is a God, Who is merciful and full of compassion. And we are created in His image and likeness. We are natural lovers. We are born compassionate.

Compassion is the trademark of the child of God. Compassion is like the trigger that releases your abilities and graces.

The ability to feel what others are feeling and the inner drive to reach out and relieve them is what births miracles in a minister’s life and ministry. It’s the secret of true happiness.

The feeling of compassion is God (LOVE) at work within your heart, MOVING you to reach out and alleviate someone’s pain or sorrow, with the spiritual or material resources He has given you!

To shut off your BOWELS or HEART of COMPASSION is to refuse to yield to your true self. It’s to go against your God-given heartbeat. And to limit the expression of the love of God within you.

“But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his HEART of COMPASSION against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him?”
(1John 3:17, AMP)

To let loose your heart of compassion is, to let loose your real life. It is giving expression to the love of God and His abilities deep within you. It is to let loose your happiness and inner joy that never comes any other way else. It is called living authentically.

Identity a need and let your HEART of COMPASSION move you to meet it. That’s the secret to abundant overflowing joy.
