Sprint to Compassion, Crawl to Judgment
~ Jason Reynolds, author
Christians commit to walk in the Way of Christ, following his way of life.
Some saunter, stroll, or lollygag along.
Others march to a steady beat and pace themselves.
Still others sprint, run, race, dash, tear ahead with swiftness.
No matter our pace, the gifts we’ve been given for good, give us direction.
Compassion: “to suffer together, to suffer with”
n. sympathy, empathy, concern, kindness, care, consideration, kindheartedness
What does compassion look like?
We are champions of the Common Good.
We are advocates for justice.
We are supporters of diversity.
We are disciples of healing.
We are guardians of inclusion.
We are believers in life.
We are agents of reconciliation.
We are preachers of hope.
We are promoters of peace.
