Only the Samaritan identified with the broken, hurting man. That's where compassion begins. To be compassionate means to identify with the broken and hurting. When we come to the place in our lives where we identify with those who hurt, then we have taken the first step toward compassion. Compassion begins when we realize that we are all together in our sinfulness, brokenness, and need.
Compassion begins with identification.
