Compassion
DURING WORLD WAR I, a reporter was watching a Red Cross nurse swab the infected wound of a soldier...
After watching the sickening sight for a few moments, the reporter said to the nurse, "I would not do what you do for a million dollars." The nurse, looking up at the reporter, replied, "Neither would I."
THOUGHT: A compassionate person is one who is so moved by the needs and hurts of others that he or she cannot help but respond (Robert Jeffress).
KneEmail: "And seeing the multitudes, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and downcast like sheep without a shepherd" (Matt. 9:16; cf. Mark 1:40-41).
