You aren't going to be able to be compassionate if you are worried about making people happy.
It took me 26 years to come to this realization. People pleasing is not anywhere close to proper compassion. In fact, being compassionate will often make many people upset with you. Compassion rarely shows equality, compassion rarely shows fairness.
Lucky for us, our God is compassionate instead of fair.
The challenge for me is to choose compassion over people pleasing. To choose compassion over selfishness. To choose compassion as a lifestyle.
