Are you empathetic of others circumstances?
I was sitting with a gentleman several years older than me having a discussion about his experience with Cancer, surgery and his recovery. He said, you know by us going through our challenges, trials and pain we gain empathy for others. Often we look at what we go though as negative and not good, but if we focus on the fact that God has a plan, he will work it all to his Good, we can have a better outlook. We may never understand things that happen in our lives, especially those we consider negative, but we can stand strong and have faith that one day we will have a chance to ask our maker.
I can see similarities in situations others are going through that I never could see in the past until I got closer to God, I would always say,†I am not like them or I do not struggle with what they struggle with.†Actually the fact is that we all pretty much struggle with the same things, the packages just look different.
How can you change your perception to offer some empathy to someone that is struggling?
