Accepting Through Compassion

It shouldn’t be about being right. It shouldn’t be about changing someone else’s mind. It shouldn’t be about others hearing me.

It should be about loving through our differences. It should be about allowing others to interpret for themselves. It should be about unconditional caring. It should be about connecting regardless of differences. It should be about hearing others not only our own voice.

I pray for my own heart to be open to others in all circumstances. Each of us is living our own story, our own path, our own truths. There is not one way to see things thank God. Diversity creates the textures of life. Would I really want only a vanilla choice of ice cream? How much richer is our world because of our difference points of view.

Compassion is seeing each other’s hearts and accepting that each has value. My prayer today is for my own heart to fill with compassion and drain out judgement and divisiveness.

In Him,
Joyful
