GOD IS COMPASSIONATE

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. [2 Corinthians 1:3]

Our God is a God of infinite compassion and kindness. He understands all that we go through and sympathizes with our weakness and our hurts. When we are troubled, He is sensitive to our predicament. He is not distant or far removed. He came to live among us and in us so that we can see how much He really cares. He comforts us when we need to be comforted. He understands and sympathizes with us in our pain and hurt. We can take all our troubles to Him and let the gentleness of His presence bring comfort and peace to our hearts.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. [Psalm 103:13]

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. [Isaiah 54:10]

Because of the LORD’S great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. [Lamentations 3:22]

To the hurting, He is the great Physician. To the confused, He is the Light. To the lost, He is the Way. To the hungry, He is the Bread of Life. To the thirsty, He is the Water of Life. To the broken, He is the Balm of Gilead. [Calvin Miller]
