“Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.” (Romans 12:15, NKJV)

To sympathize with the joys and sorrows of others is a positive attitude that Christians should possess and practice especially to those outside the church, even to persecutors. This is one charming phase of unselfish character which belongs to all living believers. Of this kind of spirit is possessed by everyone, what a world will be ours!

However, of the two, it is easy to sympathize with those who mourn than with those who rejoice, because most of the times people need the presence of others in their sorrow. Let our heart feel for the distressed; enter into their sorrows, and bear a part of their burdens.

But just the same, let us rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep!
