Empathy

My gift of empathy is an unusual one, it is incredibly unique,  and unless you have benefited from it on MULTIPLE occasions,  not one that anyone would ever believe was real.

It has been really limited in scope during law school....  Or have I been too wrapped up in my own life to have empathy for others???  

Last week I had an empathy moment.   I knew it was an empathy moment because from out of the blue,  I was afraid to die.  I had NO reason to feel that way... So I had a pretty good clue that I wasn't the one feeling that way. Only I had no clue who was.  I considered that it was my father,  but blew that off.  I knew it couldn't be Barbara.   And the only person that I thought it might apply to was Sonny.   But I couldn't figure out why he could be feeling that way.

I figured out yesterday that it was Gina.  In our conversation about her pacemaker,  it came to me really swiftly.   I asked her if she had been scared to die last week,  and she began to cry and told me no one knew.

I told her God knew, and that He cared about her not being alone about it,  so He told me.

We had a really great talk about the fact her illnesses are coming from the hardness of her heart and the hatred and resentment she holds onto.

I also told her about God and His direction to me to wait for "Omega".... She was pretty accepting of it.    I am very grateful for that.
