"Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." -Romans 12:15 (NIV)
One attribute that my daughter seems to possess is empathy. She is very perceptive to how others are feeling and looks for ways to help. Her actions remind me of a quote from Jane Goodall that says, "Empathy is really important. Only when our clever brain and human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our full potential." To be empathetic, we need to have hearts that are filled with love and a mind that is open to understand!
God can fill our hearts with His love and our minds with His wisdom. When we are filled by God, then we can be open to showing others His love. We can then be happy to celebrate with others in their times of joy and mourn with others in times of mourning. God can help our minds and hearts to act in harmony in order to more fully understand each other and what we are going through in our lives. We can be perceptive of others' feelings and be empowered to act in ways that are meaningful!
Allow God to connect your heart with His love and mind with His wisdom so you can be empathetic!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for showing me empathy. Please fill my heart with Your love and my mind with Your wisdom so they can be connected in showing Your love and empathy. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
