Where does it hurt?

Conversations that lead to transformation require compassion. Compassion means to feel with. This question acknowledges we all carry hurt and pain in our lives. Such an acknowledgement of another’s pain deepens our understanding and communicates through our asking and listening to others that they are valued. Moving to this position, we are able to share compassion. When we show compassion, we are showing up to say that we care about the relationship and we are showing up with God, because God is present even in the most difficult times.
