Compassion

I never really knew what compassion was until today.
It was a divine definition.
Compassion really means, seeing, feeling (sympathy stops short here, but compassion goes on with one more step.) and doing something about it.
That my friend, is compassion. DOING something about it.

And i think that compassion is such a...a Jesus thing.
Like that would be something He would do.
If He saw someone or something like that.
When kevin foo spoke about it today during youth service,
I really felt God strike a chord in my heart.
It was so real, so personal, so true and honest.
How many times have we (yeah this is one of those thought provoking, stop-and-think-about-it-moments...) always wanted to be in the 'in' group and not
perhaps associated with people who just didn't fall into that category?
Or maybe how many times have we (conveniently might i add..) left out the so called 'loners' or not include others just because they may seem a little 'weird'?
I say ALOT.
I know i have.
I've always been the one to make fun of others. (Like really. I am terrible.)
The one who loves to be in the 'in' crowd.
I mean.. come on.. who doesn't?
At some point in time, i am sure we all have.
But and the end of the day, it is really what you hold most dear in your heart that will prevail.
And if i dare claim to Love God,
Than I should therefore Love the things that He loves too.
The People He holds dear to His heart.
The EXACT People we (christians.. included) call "weird".

I could tell everyone at the end of the service was pretty shook up.
And i thought that it was really great because that is exactly what we needed.
To be shaken out of our oh-so-comfort zones we are in, complete with air conditioners and iPhones.

Thank God i went for Youth Service today, was a blast.
Oh yes btw, (you should know by now i love acronyms) check this vid out,
Kev showed it to us during his sermon.
HAHA It was/is so funny i kept laughing even long after it was over.
