—Psalm 103:1-14
by: Angie Osborn.
In verse 13, God is compared to a father who is tender and compassionate with his children. My husband, Steve, is that kind of father. He knows when a kiss or a band-aid will heal a hurt. He knows when a cuddle and hug are needed. He knows when to listen and when to talk. He knows when one of our children needs compassion and when they need discipline. Steve is always forgiving and loving. Yet, how much more does our heavenly father love us! He forgives our sins; he is merciful and offers grace when we deserve punishment. He provides a way for us to be in right standing with him, he understands our weaknesses and knows us better than we know ourselves—yet his love never fails! Thank you God for your unfailing love!
