Dear Missionary Lady,
Greetings in the name of our compassionate God. Today I would simply like to share a few verses about God’s compassion. I hope they will be an encouraging reminder.
“He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion” (Psalm 111:4).
“But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men” (Lamentations 3:32-33).
“Like as a father pitieth [has compassion on] his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust” (Psalm 103:13-14).
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling [have compassion] of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:15-16).
Even when God must do hard things in our lives, He filters that through His compassion. He helps us through the difficulty and gives us all the grace we need, because He both knows and understands how weak we are.
Love in Christ,
