"So long you can sweeten another's pain, Life is not in vain," wrote Helen Keller.Keller certainly understood emotional pain.You have likely observed that in this selfish world, it is easy to 'shut the door of one's tender compassions' and ignore the needs of others.(1 John 3:17).Yet, you are probably aware of this reality: Although we fully intend to love one another , we often overlook opportunities to relieve others' pain.That may simply be because we are not aware of their needs. EMPATHY is the key that can unlock the door to our kindness and compassion.
What is EMPATHY?
One dictionary says that empathy is the "identification with and understanding of another's situation, feelings, and motives."
"It is a mistake to think we listen only with our ears, it is much more important to listen with the mind, the eyes, the body and the HEART, unless you truly want to understand the other person you will never be able to listen" Mark Herndon
Today's world is often marked by a spirit of bravado and confrotation or by temptation. A person who flees from a situation is generally regarded as weak or cowardly. He may even become subject to ridicule.
However, the Bible makes it plain that there are times when running away is both wise and courageous.That is Jesus Christ's Disciples.(Matthew 10:23).
Empathy involves observing carefully the needs of others with a view to helping them.....We will learn to show the empathy that a loving mother naturally feels towards her child.
How to Cutlivate EMPATHY...
1:Listen
2:Observe
3:Use your imagination
Focus on this word "Imagination" for a second.Do you remember?
"Imagination" allows the mind to leave the reality of life with its insecurities and to enter a beautiful, secure condition, dismissing anything that may spoil the dream. Often, though the problems of the real world suddenly intrude on this dream-world and mercilessly obliterate the feeling of wellBeing, awakening the dreamer to sober reality.
Listen....Observe....
