Compassionate Heart

Job 6:14 (NLT) 14 “One should be kind to a fainting friend, but you accuse me without any fear of the Almighty."

I probably never have looked at this verse the same way that I do now. As Job makes his speech – I can literally put myself in his shoes. I feel what he feels as he vents during his depression. It amazes my that people don’t have compassion with those that are weak around them. Job says it right – we should be kind to those who are fainting. We don’t know what they’ve gone through. We don’t know what they are thinking. It’s a terrible thing to go through depression - It even worse to go through it with people who are heartless. We should treat others as we would want to be treated.
