Saturday 4-17-21 Iyar 4, 5781 7th. day of the weekly cycle, 29th. Spring Day

Day 19 – Iyar 4 – April 17 Hod of Tiferet: Humility in Compassion

Psalm 119:145-152; Psalm 119:165

If compassion is not to be condescending, it must include humility. Hod is recognizing that my ability to be compassionate and giving does not make me better than the recipient; it is the acknowledgment and appreciation that by creating one who needs compassion God gave me the gift of being able to bestow compassion. Thus there is no place for haughtiness in compassion.

Do I feel superior because I am compassionate? Do I look down at those that need my compassion? Am I humble and thankful to God for giving me the ability to have compassion for others?

Exercise for the day: Express compassion in an anonymous fashion, not taking any personal credit.

Love always, Walter and Debbie
