Everyone Deserves Compassion, Including You And Me.
It may be easy to make snap judgments about people without knowing them. Grace helps me pause and look beyond first impressions, reminding me that every person is a spiritual being deserving of love and respect. No one need earn their worth. As I commit to regarding others as both fully human and fully divine, I live more fully from the awareness of grace. I see through eyes of compassion, not criticism. Looking more deeply at the beloved soul before me helps me grow in empathy. It also changes how I see myself. I grow in self-compassion when I drop my negative self-talk and practice self-love instead. God is love, and I am that love in action. I am a compassionate presence, gentle and understanding, expressing the love of God.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.—Matthew 5:7
