"Compassion."
Not pity, not anger, not shame, not impatience, not intolerance, not rejection, but compassion is what God, my Father, gives to me. He cares for my pain enough to enter into my world and share it in Jesus.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
Psalm 103:13
16th
"Never alone."
Often friends desert us, allies are hard to find, and we stand alone in what we do, right or wrong. Sometimes we face the music for sins we have committed. Other times we stand alone for something we believe in. Comfort comes to us when we realize that, no matter how many earthly friends desert us, God is always standing right beside us. We need face no trial alone. Whether we have sinned or stood up for what is right, God will be near to us, to protect and defend.
I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me: no man cared for my soul.
Psalm 142:4
Heaven
