The Father’s Compassion
For His unfailing love toward those who fear Him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. The LORD is like a father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him. For He knows how weak we are; He remembers we are only dust.
Psalm 103:11-14 (NLT)
Thought
We’re all made in the image of God, but only those who’ve surrendered their lives to Jesus and are following Him are children of God. God has compassion. He’s slow to anger. No sin or mistake can keep you from His compassion and love.
Prayer Practice
Pause
Spend time thinking about God’s gentleness and compassion towards you and others.
Rejoice
Rejoice that because Jesus was crushed, we can have compassion. Thank God for His compassion that’s free but comes at the great price of His Son. Rejoice that because of Jesus, you’re a righteous child of God!
Ask
Ask God as a Father to reveal His compassion towards you and your struggles with sin. Ask Him to show His heart of love to you.
Yield
Truly yield anything you’re holding back from Him. Surrender all He brings to mind that you’re carrying with only your strength, and let His peace wash over you.
