GOD pities those who fear Him, as a father pities his children ~ (Psalm 103:13)

God looks upon us in our lowly circumstances and sympathizes with us.  He pities and comforts us when we are disheartened.  He pities us when we fall by our own doing, and helps us to rise up.  He pities and teaches us when we are weak in knowledge.  When we offend Him, He forgives us upon admission of our wrongdoing.  He chastises us when we keep doing wrong, but pities us when feel the pain of His chastisement.  What a loving Father!

Reflection
Are you a child of God?  To be a child of God is a great blessing.  All people are God’s beloved creation, but not all are His children.  We become children of God after we are born-again, because we are adopted into His family through our relationship with Jesus Christ (John 1:12).  In Jesus, we become children of God the Father, through faith (Galatians 3:26).
