“As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.”
Psalms 103:13 HCSB
I am reminded of the parable of the lost son. The father had been looking out for His son and when He saw him afar off He ran to him. Whilst the son deserved to be an outcast the Father welcomed him home. This parable reveals the heart of the Father for us.
Although we struggle and get in a mess at times He is there waiting to assist, waiting to be asked. He does not condemn us but rather waits for us to turn to Him. He is good!
Today I asked my old friend to house me for the next two weeks as I clean out my old flat in readiness to leave for Nepal. As my dog Oscar is now gone the house feels emptier and sad. I am glad for a reprieve, and my friend is glad for my company, as am I. I am grateful she has compassion on me, and she does this because I helped her as she also lost her dog. Good to have friends. Amen!
