Compassion relates to the ability to see yourself in the position of another, to feel what they feel and to offer tender support, empathy, and understanding for what the individual may be exper- iencing without seeing them as weak.

Compassion does not strip a person of their dignity, nor does it deny them the dignity of their  process.  

Compassion allows you to stand with a person, holding the vision of their wholeness regardless of the situation or circumstances they may face. 

Compassion is the precursor to forgiveness.  

Without compassion there will always be judgments, which obstruct mental and emotional energy and faculties.

I ASK FOR NOTHING    
 

Good morning Lord God Jehovah, Prince of Peace, Unconditional Love!

Blessings and praises to Your name.

Your presence is illuminating. Your essence is sweet.

 

Your love is unlimited and Your grace sufficient. Your peace passes all understanding. Your glory reigns forever. And, for this I am so very grateful!

 

I acknowledge You, God, as beauty and love You send to me through my relationships.

 

I acknowledge You, God, as abundance of joy and love in the smile of the children.

 

I acknowledge You, God, as the keeper of my garden hedged around me as my protector.

 

I acknowledge You, God, as compassion. I acknowledge You, God, as the wind that kisses my cheek. And, for this I am so very grateful!

 

I ask for nothing, God. You supply all of my needs. I ask for nothing, God. You are my healer. I ask for nothing, God. My cup runneth over.

 

I ask for nothing, God. I dance when the birds sing and marvel when the leaves change. I ask for nothing, God. The footprints in the sand are Your Son's. I ask for nothing, God. I am complete in You. And, for this I am so grateful.

 

Ashe' and Amen.

Today, I recognize that 

kindness, compassion, 

tolerance and forgiveness 

as the cornerstones 

of unconditional love.  

 

I give thanks that I am
a loving and

compassionate person. 

 

I give thanks that:
I am compassionate, 

peaceful and calm.


Today, I listen deeply with a 

compassionate, loving 

heart to my family, 

friends and co-workers. 

 

I open my 
heart to others 

without judgment, and 

radiate the message of joy

at having them in my  life. 

 

Today, I treat myself 

with love, kindness, 

and compassion.

 

 Today I 

give the 

gifts of non-judgment, mercy 

and love from a generous

and compassionate spirit. 

 

 

 

Only when you have a healthy, honorable, affirming relationship with yourself can you have the same with others.  This relationship is the foundation of your ability to demonstrate and practice compassion. Only when you have truly mastered yourself and are able to strand in your sense
of personal power can you be compassionate.
 

 

If this is not the truth of your being, your attempts to be compassionate will mean being too nice and you will become a doormat.  You will believe that you are being used.  You will fee put upon and eventually become resentful of all that you have done or are doing for others.

It is only from a sense of true and authentic personal power that you can give, support, share, and assist without feeling that you are losing anything.

When you are a powerful master of yourself you know that what you give
is of the universal divine energy flowing through you.  It is not yours.  It belongs to life.


When a powerful person gives life, s/he knows they cannot be depleted.  Instead, they know they are being strengthened.  

You must be strong in order to be compassionate.

A compassionate person:
  • understands what the other person is going through, rather than joining
    in with his/her suffering and fear
  • sees the lesson, the blessings and the victory at the end
  • stands strong with the other person
  • supports the other through the acceptance of the situation
  • knows with the other person, for the other, and when necessary in spite
    of the other, that all things work together for the good
  • holds the vision
