Isaiah 51:3
The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look
with compassion on all her ruins; he will make
her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the
garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be
found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of
singing.

12 Thanksgiving for Compassion
There are times in everyone's life that we
feel beaten down by the world. This can
happen for any number of reasons from simple
busyness to being around antagonizing people on
a regular basis.
When we're down, the last thing we need is
for someone to add to our troubles.
Fortunately even if no one else is, God is
compassionate to us. God will never leave
us nor forsake us. God will always be
there when we cry out to Him. He is there
when we just need someone to listen to our
troubles. And He is there to lift us up
when we fall down.
Some people choose to blame God for allowing
bad things to happen to them. They accuse
God of being the source of their troubles
because He did not prevent them. The truth
is that God will never give us more than we can
handle - as long as we rely on Him to get us
through.
When we feel that life is giving us more than
we can take, we need to examine our lives and see
if we are trying to handle it all or if we are
handing our burdens to God and trusting Him to
handle it with His compassion. |
