Compassion
This means resolution, resolve, willpower. “Stand firm, and you will win life” (Luke 21:19)
This means regard highly, value, honour. “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them” (Luke 6:31)
This means mutual trust and support. “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth" (1 John 3:18)
This means the process of being given passion and/or ideas for a task. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13)
This means being outstanding or extremely good. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord" (Colossians 3:23-24)
This connects us with each other. “We who are many, are one body in Christ”(Romans 12:5)
This means having a deep awareness and sympathy for another's suffering. “When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things" (Mark 6:34)
