A student of pain.

What does it mean to show someone compassion, to walk them through the darker times in life. Sometimes it just means giving them a hug and being honest with your self and them by saying, "I don't know how I can help."Compassion does not require perfection and so much of the time we disqualify ourselves from helping others because we cannot solve their problems. God never asked you to solve peoples problems, he already did that. He did ask us to love each other. A lot more love is available in us to give than we imagine and not smiling at someone because you, "might as well not get involved," because "its not like you could change them" is not loving. Loving is messy, loving as humans is imperfect. God said love your neighbour as your self. Do you love yourself perfectly, no. God never said Love your neighbour perfectly, just to love them. Besides that "mere" smile could save a life.
