Unless you feel the suffering you would not understand the pain. I don't believe that Jesus actually wanted to feel the suffering but it was necessary to understand the pain from a human point of view since He walked in the flesh and was one of us except for sin.
we can start with small glimpses

Jesus certainly empathises with us would you call him a loser!

Isaiah 53:5 NKJV
[5] But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our
iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His
stripes we are healed.


Hebrews 4:15 NKJV
[15] For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our
weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.


We are also called to emphasise with others.


Romans 12:15 NKJV
[15] Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.



Empathy comes with life experience, although it is not necessarily age
related.

Empathy is the ability to feel and understand the pain of others, very much Christ-like.
And here I am being shamed for it. All sorts of various people, even relatives. You wouldn't know them.

Also, I wonder if having a very specific way of living my own life, strictly for me makes me a willful woman and that it's wrong or bad and that I have to have the opinions and ways of living that other Christian women do. Not saying I believe this ─ only wondering if it's true.
. . .
It's so peaceful at night and I love it. Been pushing myself to head to bed sooner so that I can get up earlier. It's going OK, but I'm still working on it.

empathy are for losers
meditate deeply on this, and be Christ-like
Empathy and compassion is what Jesus felt for the thief on the cross that died on the cross next to him and later was in heaven...

"Love thy neighbor even when they pursecute you" comes to mind

I think christian women have this idea that they have to be meek and mild and subserviant...but i look at gutsy women of the bible...deborah..the judge...mary..after Jesus resurrection started preaching..esther...amen for bold Godly women !

The Russian trolls are here. They are the ones who are trying to divide us by being extremists.

Trying to get us to forget the love of the Holy Spirit and hate our fellow Americans.

When we hate and curse, then that is what they want. They don't want to get real and discuss the issues or resolve them.

They want to hate our fellow Christians, immigrants, other political parties, etc., anything to divide us.

the thief on the cross may be losers in the eye of the world
but love was given to the thief

Jesus died for sinners
therefore, empathy is for us sinners (we are well, I see how that word is "way over the top"

or, I empathied the trolls the wrong way,
I empathied their nasty feelings,

so the issue isn't the lack of empathy, the issue is how to properly process it

Or..nigeria..or china...or middle east..or india..lol
And what about the 23 Russian intel officers that were shown to be spying by the FBI?

What about the guilty pleas?

Do you believe Trump? or the FBI, NSA, CIA, every intel officer, Senators, house reps, and his own intel chief?

Yes, pray that they are filled with the love of the Holy Spirit and that their soul will be redeemed by the blood of Jesus.

In an eternal sense we pray for all sous, even those who fight Jesus. Pray that the gospel kingdom love light will pierce their heart leading to eternal life.

----

Having said that, we cannot allow the name of Jesus to be dragged through the mud by giving our endorsement to leaders, shepherds,
who have the actions that are contrary to love, justice, and the honesty of Jesus.

What they say and what they do, are two different things. They say that they love Jesus to get your trust and vote, but hate immigrants (unless they are from Norway), destroy Christian families at the border, call the people of Europe who love freedom and free speech "foes", but call the ruthless murdering Russian dictator Czar Putin a harmless competitor.

Would you let someone who constantly lies to be the minister of your congregation? Your shepherd? Someone who is destroying the Gospel light center to the world?

Why would any Christian allow the shepherds of our nation to lie like Trump has? Continue to endorse him? (Why did 300 people follow Jim Jones to their deaths?)

Trump and the Republican leaders are not defending America. They are serving the Trump cult dictatorship.
