Power of Sympathy

The philosopher Will wishes for super powers, but unbeknownst to him he has at least one, we all do – the power of sympathy(empathy).

We do not understand why, but a sense of peace and strength comes as we look into a face perhaps for the first time; we hear a voice, and something within us responds in harmony. We are engaging our superpower, and there is no way to measure its influence. Especially when our sympathy goes out when our  soul is so filled with love that we have an ear for every heart-pulse that is beating. We give out our sympathy in times of sorrow or pain without thought of self.

It has been said that next to love, sympathy is the divinest passion of the human heart. True sympathy is born of that love Jesus bade us to have for another. It is a love that always helps, is pure in thought, and which seeks to elevate and strengthen. There can never be enough of true sympathy, for its fruit is always harmony. It has helped millions back to life, health and happiness. Engage your super power today.
