As believers in Jesus, we too receive great compassion. When we are in trouble, we can talk to Him without barrier. Discharge our burden and confess our pain to Him. He takes them all. Our Savior humbled Himself to live among us, identifying with us. On our behalf, He, “Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” (Philippians 2:6–7)Then, feeling as we feel and weeping as we weep, He died on a cross, sacrificing His life to save ours. Nothing in our struggle is beyond our Savior’s concern. If someone “throws rocks” at our lives, He comforts us. If life brings disappointments, He walks with us through despair. “Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar” (Psalm 138:6). In our troubles, He preserves us, stretching out His hand to protect us from our enemies and deliver us from our deepest fears. Thank You, God, for Your compassionate love.
