Eyes of Compassion

My recent illness has really convinced me of the importance of not judging or condemning, not even our own past, and of looking at people with immense compassion and love in the way Jesus looked at the adulterous woman and made her discover her own goodness through the eyes of Jesus and thus find the strength to “sin no more.”

"When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.”

MATTHEW 9:36 (NIV)
