A Relationship with Compassion. When others hurt us the normal reaction is to shut down and give up. Feeling there is no hope or reason to take a solid stance. Unable to realize, this is the place to push through. A time to love through the pain. Giving up is not the answer to a commitment made because someone just may be having a bad moment. A relationship with compassion is the way to express, “I’m still here, how can I help?”
A Commitment Made
Pushing through the hard times is the place of growth. Allowing oneself to show compassion and empathy to another person strengthens one’s own character. A commitment made doesn’t consent to only the good times but the not so pleasant times, also. It becomes the glue needed to endure the unpleasant moments that will take place in any relationship. Even when you feel it is unbearable.
Compassion
Taking time to find out what is wrong. Compassion finds out what has taken place or if a loved one is hurting in some way. When someone lashes out it’s usually when they need you the most. To be there because they are hurting is a part of the commitment made. Possibly, the inability to express oneself correctly is part of their challenge. However, be ready to teach and show kindness, gentleness and meekness to help another. Showing compassion not only helps the one giving it. It emphasizes how love plays a part in a relationship even when those times seem to be more difficult than expected.
The need to show compassion is a reality to be endured with not only a spouse but with life issues in general. Without kind-heartedness the world becomes a place of darkness, misery and pain. Giving of oneself is freedom. Not because you have to but because you want to.
