About this Quote

Meister Eckhart's quote speaks to the idea that God is not just enjoy and goodness, but also empathy. Compassion is a deep understanding of the suffering of others and a desire to alleviate it. It is a sensation of compassion and sympathy for those who are suffering. God's compassion is not simply a feeling, but an action. He is actively involved in helping those who are in need. He is not just a remote figure, but a loving and caring presence in our lives. God's empathy is a tip that He is constantly with us, even in our darkest moments. He is a source of comfort and strength, and He is always prepared to assist us in our time of need. God's empathy is a pointer that He is constantly there for us, no matter what.
