Compassion: Occurs in 39 verses of the Bible but actually has 10 different meanings. There are 4 Hebrew meanings and 6 Greek. Most of the information was be taken from this website: Compassion  however, some personal.

Matt 9:36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.

In this passage compassion is actually the Greek word Splagchnizomai. The word occurs 17 times in the New Testament. It is a feeling that produces movement or action. The literal meaning is: "to be moved in the bowel."

This to me, would signify a DEEP, unexplainable feeling--that causes you to literally be moved to action. When we experience compassion sometimes it may even involve pain or tears. It's good to be moved, to feel, in fact we should. Sometimes we try and hide ourselves from the terrible things from this world and although it can get overwhelming watching the news and seeing everything going on the world... be careful not to ignore what is going on. Let yourself feel and be MOVED by compassion. Jesus did.

On a personal note, I will update you with where I am sooner than later :)
