Where you live
May be living in a defeating home or work environment
Contempt breeds contempt, anger produces more anger, hatred feeds hatred
How you live
When we try to maintain an unhealthy pace of life
Good Samaritan - priest and Levite were, at heart, kind and compassionate people
But they were too busy to have time or energy to tune into people's needs
How you give
Few reach this problem but some are effected but excessive care-giving
They give and give to the point they start to feel resentment toward someone they are caring for
Many never learned that caring for others has to be balanced with caring for yourself
To prevent burn-out, Jesus often withdrew to recop
There is a time for giving and a time to take care of ourself - Ecclesiastes 3
Key Phrase: Your compassion is effected by where and how you live and how you give
