Heart of Compassion

I am praying today. A lot today, that God help me to gain a humble burden for the pain of others. I don't ever want to get so bogged down with my small, insignificant troubles that I forget those around me suffering in body and heart. I pray that the world never let the downtrodden slip by without notice. I've been blessed, and I know many people who have much less than I do, and yet, are much more thankful.  I have failed here. My prayer for me is for a heart full of compassion. My prayer is for a world more filled with care.

"Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous." 1 Peter 3:8
