We explore the life-changing power of self-compassion and how applying this biblical principle to ourselves can lead to breakthrough, peace, and freedom from anxiety and depression.

• Jesus consistently demonstrated compassion by healing, teaching, and caring for those who were "harassed and helpless"
• God's compassion is not just for others—it's meant for you personally as well
• The biblical definition of compassion goes beyond sympathy (feeling for someone) or empathy (feeling with someone)
• True compassion combines empathy with action: "I feel with you and I want to help"
• Miracles consistently followed when Jesus was moved with compassion
• Many believers show compassion to others but struggle with four barriers to self-compassion: criticism, contempt, self-sabotage, and neglect
• Self-compassion isn't self-indulgence—it's alignment with how God sees and treats us
• The cross represents the ultimate picture of God's compassion as He entered human suffering
• Treating yourself with compassion isn't lowering standards but applying the same grace you extend to others
• "The best version of yourself gives God the greatest worship"

I pray there would be a fresh revelation of Jesus' compassion for all who are listening. Let the love and compassion of God fill you like never before, with grace to apply that compassion to yourself.
