As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.

—Ps 103:13

The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

—Ps 116:5

• Every parent understands what it is to suffer with someone. When our children fall and hurt themselves, our hearts are touched and pained. When they taste disappointment or failure, we feel their pain. Their suffering is our suffering.

• Our God understands our suffering, for he chose to suffer with us—and to identify with our pain. What a wonder that our God would choose to suffer with us—and for us, as our Lord Jesus did on the cross.

• Reflect on the Lord’s tender-heartedness for his children. Praise him for his compassion for a lost, sinful world.
