Compassion for others

I think this branches off of the post about me me me. But why don't we care for others as we know we should? Why aren't we trying harder with our relationships? I have this idea that each week or even each day we need to remind our selves to care about others. Eventually it comes naturally but even then sometimes we need to remember to consider those around us. When someone asks us to do something, would we rather just stay at home and watch a movie? Or are we too busy? What I have to say to that in the nicest way possible, is we need to stop the excuses. It's absolutely ridiculous. We need to take time out of our lives, and remember to ask those around us how they really are, find out their struggles, listen to their stories. When someone asks us to do something we need to do it. And if we can't when they ask find another time. I mean goodness we want to be kind loving, caring, helpful people. So we should start acting like it. Let's not even wait for that person to contact us. But let's do something about this. Let's go out and make plans with them. Make disciples, that's what we are to do right? Then that's what I'm going to try to do. Make life mean something at the end of the day. Because no matter how many years we were educated, what degree we got, what career path we chose, what clothes we have, what awesome activities we do. It means nothing at the end of the day without the Lord and those around us. It's just never going to be that important, unless we start doing what we were called to do.
