The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love (Psalm 103:8).

Reason #43852 to be glad I’m not God.

Because if I were, this verse would read more like… “…insensitive and self-serving, easily frustrated and abounding in sarcasm.”

And who needs that, right?

Beloved—pardon the bathtub analogy—take a few moments today to lie back and soak in his utter goodness.   He is everything you need, and far more than you deserve.  He is completely on your side.

He is sympathetic without being codependent.

He is gentle without being weak.

He is patient without being passive.

He is forgiving without being enabling.

Oh, yeah—and he loves you.

And you need that, right?

Happy Thursday, Beloved.
