EXPLORING VIRTUES – COMPASSION
Compassion is an impactful virtue that leads way to showing Jesus’ love because action steps in! When a heart chooses compassion they not only show empathy towards the need but they help make a way in supplying the need. This can be displayed in an array of ways, depending on the situation and circumstances, but ultimately it’s God’s love in action.
