Compassion

Offered to all.

I am desperate for my neighbor, my family, the world, to know the truth: all will be well.

Am I equally desperate to know this myself?

Might I treat myself with the same compassion I try to bring to others?

Let me love the small soul locked within my body, Lord.

Consider:

Can I offer myself compassion?
