#60: We are continuing our series on the motivational gifts from Romans 12:6-8. If you’ve been tracking with us, you know these gifts are God-given motivations—the way we naturally respond to the world around us and the people in it.
Today, we’re talking about the gift of Compassion, also called Mercy. This is the gift that reflects the heart of God in a deep, personal way. People with this gift feel deep love for others and are drawn to those who are hurting. They’re the ones who see pain and step in to help—not out of obligation, but because their hearts truly ache for others.
If you have the gift of Compassion, or if you know someone who does, today’s episode is going to bring clarity on how this gift works, how it shows up in daily life, and even some common pitfalls to watch out for.
Let’s go to the show.

Heavenly Position Guidance Challenge:
For this week’s Heavenly Position System Challenge, I have one for those who don’t know if this is your gift and one for those who do identify with this gift.
For Someone Unsure if This is Their Gift:
This week, pay attention to how you respond when you see someone in pain—whether emotional, spiritual, or physical. Do you feel a strong pull to comfort them? Do you instinctively take action to help? Journal your observations and ask God to reveal if this is a core part of how He’s wired you.
For Someone Who Knows This is Their Gift:
Your challenge this week is to set one healthy boundary. Whether that’s saying no to something that drains you or releasing the emotional burden of someone else’s choices, take a step toward balance. Remember, you’re called to love and help others, but you are not responsible for fixing everything.
