The last few days have been particularly challenging for me and my wife Lerato. Having someone around whose prone to serious lung problem is very difficult for me to relate. The fact that I don't (not yet) get sick so often makes it even harder to accept that Lerato's condition is here to stay. In my mind, i associated it with her not being able to 'toughen up' and I'm the perfect guy to help her to it. But I'm slowly beginning to realise that even Jesus could have taken the same stand with our continuous inability to look beyond what we see and feel. And if he did none of us will even be remotely close to receiving salvation. Unconditional compassion requires me to hope for someone to improve their physical state without ever judging the pace at which they strive to get there. Easier said than done.
