Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!
Beautiful words about the God we serve. He longs to be gracious to us. He knows all our faults, insecurities and human tendencies. Jesus became a man and experienced humanity. He knows our human frailties and yet longs to be gracious to us, showing us favor which we do not deserve and can never repay.
The second line states that he will rise up to show us compassion. The Most High, Eternal, Almighty God will show us compassion. When the whole world is on our shoulders and we want to give up or give in, may we remember these words.
There is no condemnation only compassion.
