[Its of] Of feeling another persons emotions because I care for that person so much that I want to feel their emotions so that I understand what they are going through during their life.
I want to know how this person feels in the good times and the bad times. I want to cry when this person feels tears welling up, so that I can put my arms around that person and hold them close, letting them know that I am near, and that God is near to both of us in His way. This is one way of letting that person know what love is, and that love will always be there for them because I will always be near them forever and even when away from me.
On a personal level when I am with people who are under great stress or are very unhappy and cry I sometimes cry with them.
At a funeral I see the pain in peoples eyes, and I remember the people that I have known who have passed on and how emotionally sad I felt knowing that I would miss them so much, I remember the tears that I cried and look at the person or people in front of me crying because they have lost someone and my eyes just fill with tears as I felt their sadness. I know how they feel, and I am willing to feel their pain and sadness to help comfort them and give them hope again. When I hold them in my arms I feel a wonderful gentle warmth and we share our hearts and souls in this tender moment when this friend has a need for a gentle hug to bring to them some sort of understanding of their loss.
If you have trouble “feeling” what other people feel an idea is for you to try to understand what they are going through when you have gone through the same things.
If a person cuts their finger and you don’t really care about it, even if it is your husband, wife or child, consider the last time you cut yourself and how it felt, then look a this persons pain and you will start to feel things in their situation if you want to.
The biggest advantage is that is if we feel things physically and emotionally as other people do then we can help them better and they can help us better. Feelings can flow and love can grow if we are all feeling what other people are feeling.
If we encourage and care for people with empathy then many of them will do the same for us.
Wikipedia puts it this way:
Empathy is the capacity to recognize and, to some extent, share feelings (such as sadness or happiness) that are being experienced by another sentient or semi-sentient being. Someone may need to have a certain amount of empathy before they are able to feel compassion. The English word was coined in 1909 by E.B. Titchener.

There is not the lust to hold them together through the hard times, no, it is a deep loving feeling for one another that lasts all of eternity. A feeling of care. A need to be close and protecting one another and share good feelings together. Now that kind of love is worth holding out for.
God needs the people of the world to reach out with their hearts to each other. If we are hurt we tend to shy away from empathy, we may close ourself up so that we don’t get hurt again, then we could harden or get stressed with fears.
If we cannot handle our own emotional struggles and pains then we will struggle to want to feel the sadness of other people when they are going through hard times. This is one of the reasons that people need to make themselves emotionally stronger and use the right emotions in the right situations, and be emotionally balanced. We can all achieve this.

You can move a mountain by first moving small stones, start now and you will get it done sooner. Its time for change and growth in your life. Add some faith that God is behind you…
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
You, the believer of God are a light unto the world, reach out and touch that world with kind words, kind deeds, free unconditioned love – the kind of non-judgmental love that God has for us, that is the love we are to share with others. The world needs the love of True-Followers of God, God’s people that care.
All the best from
