More than any other single way the grace of humility is worked into our lives through the Discipline of service...nothing disciplines the inordinate desires of the flesh like service, and nothing transforms the desires of the flesh like serving in hiddenness. The flesh whines against service but screams against hidden service. It strains and pulls for honor and recognition.
Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
com·pas·sion, –noun [kuhm-pash-uhn]
1. A sense of shared suffering, most often combined with a desire to alleviate or reduce such suffering; to show special kindness to those who suffer.
