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).

GOD works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will. ~ (Ephesians 1:11)

God created each of His creatures for His own purpose.  Both good and bad situations also occur to fulfill His purpose.  Nothing happens to us in life that is not permissible by God.  As His beloved, we trust that every unpleasant situation will always work out for good because we love Him (Romans 8:28).

REFLECTION
You cannot claim to love God if you remain separated from Him.  We are said to be separated from Him when our sins are yet to be cleansed by the precious Blood of His Son Jesus Christ.  Separation from God also means that we are excluded from all the wonderful plans and blessings He has for us as His beloved creatures.  God can turn an unpleasant situation in your life into a testimony.  However, the wall that separates you from Him needs to be broken down first. Come to Jesus today!
