“What is true "compassion"?
True compassion is defined by God in His Word and is a reflection of God's character. Therefore, to know what true compassion looks like, we must understand what the Bible teaches about it. Rather than being a "thing" or a "quality" that God happens to possess, compassion is God's very nature, and all human compassion originates in Him. He is "the Father of mercies and God of all comfort" (2 Cor. 1:3), and God's compassion is embodied in His Son, Jesus Christ.”
