Compassion comes naturally to me when I behold the spiritual nature in everyone I meet. Offering myself in loving service to those who need my help, I show kindness and understanding—acknowledging that we are all connected.

I also take time to express compassion for myself. Instead of looking in the mirror and seeing everything I think is wrong, I reaffirm all that is right and good. I am made in the image and likeness of God, and I treat myself as the divine being that I am.

To be compassionate is to express the Christ in me mindfully and with love. I am confident my kindness will have a wondrous effect in the lives that touch mine.
