Tenderness

"My whole being, praise Jehovah God! All my being praise his holy name!" Psalm 103:1.

Dear God, you forgive all my sin. You heal my diseases. You redeem my life from the pit. You surround me with mercy. You make me young again. You work justice for oppressed people. You're full of compassion. You overflow with tenderness. Your anger ebbs away. You do not execute your full rage against our sin. As high as the skies are above the earth - that's how great your mercy is toward people who respect you. You throw away our sin as far away as east from west. You know our frailty. You know we are dust. But we're like kids to you, our dad, your compassion is like a good, good father to us. All you angels! All you sky armies! All creation - praise Jehovah God. And all that is within me - praise the Lord!

As we visit today with a brother or a sister, we remind each other of God's compassion. We remind each other to keep faithfulness to his covenant. And, together, we praise our God!
