Scripture
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. -Lamentations 3:22-23
The Word of God is full of powerful declarations that bring hope and build our faith in the Lord. We can rejoice knowing that God's compassion towards us is constant, not dependent upon circumstance. What is God's compassion? It's His love, mercy, and sympathy for those who suffer. His compassion for us leads Him to heal, restore, and relieve our distress. This scripture promises us that He will come to our rescue everyday that we need Him. His faithfulness to us provides hope even when things are at their worst. While life can be devastating, God's character and grace remain constant.
Beloved, be encouraged today knowing that no matter how difficult the circumstance you face, God's love and mercy are never-ending. He is aware of all that we are facing and is sympathetic to our troubles and weaknesses. His compassion comes with a desire to end our suffering and restore us. We only need to trust that He will show up in our situation. Cry out to the Lord concerning your troubles, Beloved. Psalm 34:17 says, "The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles" He will intervene and give you all that you need; whether it's forgiveness, answers, reconciliation, healing, deliverance, or restoration.
God's unfailing love and compassion serves as a model for us. We are meant to emulate the same love and compassion towards others in our own lives. Jesus served with compassion and we are encouraged to do the same. This is how we take on the character of Christ. Beloved, I'm not saying that this will be a breeze as some saints are difficult to handle, but let us be reminded that the same mercies that show up for us each day, show up for the ones we find difficult to love. You're being formed into someone amazing!
