The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life.
This life is a test-it is only a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received further instructions on where to go and what to do. Remember, this life is only a test.
Everything that I was reading the New Testament - everything was applicable to daily life - trials and stuff I was going through, everything matched up.
