compassion!!!!!!!!!
One thing for sure, if the heart of Christianity is not compassion, then it does not reflect the heart of God. I believe that compassion (love) is what Jesus is all about, and His life is the perfect demonstration of it. I also believe that deep down inside we sense that love and compassion are…
