Compassion to me, is to deeply moved in spirit.Thus you get a very strong unusual feeling or urge in your heart to help someone who needs that help you can give.It could be through couselling,prayer,money and others at your disposal. Sometimes you could be so moved that you cry for that person.Before you can be compassionate you must know what Jesus said and did about being compassionate.And if you are moved to do it don't hesitate because it is also an act of worship.
