Empathy:
6 Skills You Need for this Season
Over the course of five days, you’ll see a daily post with a devotion helping you explore the role of empathy at this time. It follows a similar pattern to the “God is with Us” devotional.
You won’t get a daily email. Simply know the devotional is here waiting for you for the next six days. Instead of a written devotional, this is a video devotional. The scripture, prayer, and questions for reflection are listed below.
Today, let’s explore the second skill needed to practice empathy: being non-judgmental. If you missed the first skill, you can watch the devotion for skill 1, perspective taking, here

Jesus, forgive me for the places I judge others and help me to stand in a place of compassion and wisdom today and always. Amen.
