You did not abandon them in the wilderness because of Your great compassion.
Nehemiah 9:19
Nehemiah 9:19
"When you begin to study the faithful, lifesaving, compassionate love of God in Scripture, you discover that the word often used for "compassion" is the Hebrew word racham, meaning "to soothe; to cherish; to love deeply like parents; to be compassionate and tender." (And now for my favorite part of the definition.) Small babies evoke this feeling."-Excerpt from Breaking Free Day by Day by Beth Moore.

What a sweet definition, if you've had a baby and you know that feeling, to think that God feels that way towards me. Thanks, Heather.
This reminds me of that technique you can use when you're tempted to be too hard on yourself: Imagine how you'd treat your own kids if they had your problem. This always works for me! I would never be as harsh and uncompassionate to my own children as I am to myself.
Compassion is an awesome word! And compassionate is God. Blessings Heather and thank you.
