Empathy 

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. 

Serving as a God-honoring caregiver requires one to display empathy. It is a true blessing when someone is understanding, aware, and sensitive to the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of what others could potentially go through or what they are currently facing. Empathetic, God-honoring caregivers are a remarkable blessing to those in need. 

With the many distractions of life, people can get caught up forgetting about the needs or cares of those they proclaim to love or care about. Sometimes it takes a life changing situation where someone is forced to help another person during a critical time in life, for them to understand the value of God-honoring servitude, understanding, and sacrifice. 

It is in those moments of purposeful empathy when people are influenced, and serve as a God-honoring impact to countless others. 

Jesus is an example of a Divine empathetic caregiver.  Throughout scripture there are numerous events where Jesus Christ displayed loving empathy to people. Jesus was moved to compassion when he saw the people he loved and those he would sacrifice his life for in pain and despair. Jesus is empathetic of every situation every person endures and encounters. 

There should never be a question in one’s mind regarding the empathetic nature of Christ. Jesus took on every hurt, pain, sickness, and heartache that every person would ever experience.  Jesus, in loving empathy, endured it all and cared for each and every one of us. Jesus didn’t allow distractions to impede his assignment.

Jesus is the divine empathic caregiver. It is a blessing to know that although caregivers assist in the needs of others, Jesus is supplying the needs of all. Jesus cares for the caregiver as well as those in need.  

What a reward to know that Jesus divinely cares and comes through for you!
