Lately I have been re-memorizing Psalm 86, where the wonderful description of your character stands out:

“you are a God who is full of compassion, gracious, long suffering and plenteous in mercy and truth.” Vs 15.

Yes, You, Lord, are full of compassion—loving, kind , ever doing good and forgiving.

You are gracious—giving us the opposite of what we deserve. In spite of our wicked unbelief and rebellion You pour out blessing and provision in every area:

--physically with food, water and shelter;

--emotionally with acceptance and approval;

--mentally with guidance in clear thinking;

--spiritually, giving us the Holy Spirit to live within;

--futurely—giving us meaning and purpose, hope, belonging and a certain future.

And You, Lord God, are long suffering—never abandoning us as we zigzag through life, giving you pain every day as we disobey, go our own way, trust ourselves rather than you.

You never tire of correcting us, chastening us, caring for us.

Truely, there is no one like You, Lord Jesus, You who has done great and wondrous things. As we face new challenges in life, help us to remember who you are and trust you.
