I stumble. I fall. I do those things I wish I would not do yet again.
Even though I get frustrated with myself, I have never once imagined God ready to pull His hair out because I am not “getting it.”
Instead, I see His mercy and grace and compassion.
It isn’t that the wrath of God does not exist. But the Bible illustrates many situations where God showed compassion: Jesus feeding the crowds, Jesus meeting the woman at the well, Jesus healing the many, many people He healed.
Maybe all of those different scenarios are for us to see ourselves in them.
God does not tire of hearing from us. When we are coming to Him it is usually out of our own need or we are coming on the behalf of others.
Even if we aren’t coming to Him with pure intentions He can take and shape our prayers to become “His will.”
As humans, we can get tired of repeated situations with the humans around us. Our fuses are sometimes short for our siblings, co-workers, neighbors, spouse, children, or grandchildren.
He is the Father of Compassion.
My prayer is that I respond as one who is frequently shown compassion, mercy, and grace. I hope to reflect my Father’s heart.
