I looked up the definition of “compassion.” Here’s what it said in Merrian-Websters: “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.” I don’t know about you, but when I apply that to God, it’s pretty special. Basically, He is aware of my distress and desires to alleviate it. You can’t get much more personal that. What a loving, caring God. Oh, and He is known for great faithfulness.
Lord, on those days when I feel down, afraid, or overwhelmed, help me to remember how much you care. Let me feel your loving arms of compassion around me, making me stronger again. Thank you for the many ways you care for me.
