So the Lord

Psalm 103:13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.

We parents have compassion on our children when we see them fall down, scrape their knees, or lose a game, or fail miserably on a test they’ve studied for all night. It hurts our heart to see them hurting, and so we hold them, we console them, and we assure them of our love.

God does this too, and so much more.

We grow weary of disobedient children and sometimes lash out in anger.  We often don’t want to deal with unruly kids because we’re tired or they’re annoying.  And sometimes, we just don’t know what to do, even though we feel sorry for them, because we can’t heal their hurting heart.

However, God can. 
However, God does.
However, God will.

Need compassion?  Go to him.  His mercies are new every morning.
