As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; Psalm 103:13
Citizens of the New Kingdom know the compassion that King Jesus has for his children. He comforts, forgives and gently restores us when we have failed. He calls himself the good shepherd who will search anywhere and everywhere to find his lost sheep. He is like the Father of the runaway son who waits patiently for his return and celebrates joyously as he forgives.
It is a blessed privilege to be a Citizen of the New Kingdom when our King has such compassion, kindness and gentleness for us. And when we realize the enormity of what he has done for us we cannot help but show some of this compassion to others.
