God is compassionate!

“But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.” (Psalm 86:15)

Compassion: concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. It is pity, sympathy, empathy, fellow feeling, care, sensitivity, warmth, love, tenderness, mercy, leniency, tolerance, kindness, and charity.

Five important things

It's amazing to me how many people perceive God as angry and disconnected from humanity. Nothing could be further from the truth! According to the above verse you learn five important things about Him. 1) He is compassionate, 2) He is gracious, 3) He is slow to anger, 4) He is abounding in love and 5) Heis abounding in faithfulness!

Now, that is the God I know and serve!
