There is a difference between pity and compassion. When you pity, it most times doesn't move you to help, you could be burdened, sorrowful and the next minute you're over it. But when you are moved with compassion there is a compelling urge within you without an external force to lend a helping hand. You see it as a duty to be an help meet even without being asked . The Bible says be compassionate one to another. Don't just pity and talk about it be moved with compassion. Someone need's a soothing for that pain.
With a compassionate heart you come with passion to be of help and a blessing. A compassionate heart will choose love over hate. Being compassionate is a Christ-like nature that should flow through you seeing a fellow human in a tough state and discomfort. You're moved to be an help meet, not to brag or show off but from a heart of love. Compassionate Compassionately looks beyond the age, class, status, position, titles, race and even differences.
When you talk about it and make it a topic for discussion that is negating the Christlike nature/principle. You should see a need to raise your voice in your secret place not just for yourself but others. Your compassion towards others is a positive attraction to draw souls closer to God. It is manifesting the Christlike nature. Let others see Jesus in you ,so they can know Jesus through you that is the ultimate goal of a compassionate heart. Christ is the center of a compassionate heart. It is selfless. Don't just pity, shaking your head and saying it is well when God has made you a tool to restore hope.
