God's Compassion

Last week we read a portion from Mark regarding Christ’s compassion.  Christ’s compassion was present when He fed the four thousand.  Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.   It became so personal, reflecting on God’s compassion to us as a family as we walk this difficult road, with a more or less suffering boy.  God promises He will never leave us nor forsake us.

God’s compassion is complete, perfect, sovereign and mighty.   What a blessing to serve a Compassionate God! 

Compassion is a feeling with and for others.  It’s to love, have pity and to be merciful.   God the Father provided a spiritual and eternal deliverance for sinners by giving up his own Son to die the death of the cross.  What glorious compassion!!
