TOTD, October 01

Compassionate

Our God is a compassionate God. Not only that, He’s also gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness (Psalm 86:15). And here’s a wonderful prayer that I got from the Upper Room website, to help us to stay compassionate in this lack-of-love world. (-fon-)

ABBA, help me stay deeply conscious of your compassionate love for people. Teach me to treat strangers no differently than family and to see all your children with compassionate eyes. Grant me the courage to do what is within my power to do. Amen.
