Points to remember:
  • Consequences are tools of empathy
  • Boundaries are tools of empathy
  • Empathy sees inward feelings
  • Empathy warns and encourages
  • Empathy hears the cries of the oppressed
  • Empathy offers protection and hinders further damage
  • Empathy searches out (and finds) the good in the darkest times.
  • Empathy prepares a way
  • Empathy produces intercession and stands in the gap through prayer and fasting
  • Empathy lifts others up and offers strength to the weak

A Prophet's role in regards to empathy:
  • A prophet helps others engage their senses so they can understand and act empathetically (with kindness and care for others)
  • A prophet works with empathy to bring God's truth that will turn hearts toward repentance and protect the people from themselves
