God is all mercy and grace - not quick to anger, is rich in love.
God is good to one and all; everything he does is suffused with grace.
Psalm 145:8-9 (NLT)
The Lord is merciful and compassionate,slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone.He showers compassion on all his creation.
I wanted to encourage you today to place your hope in the unchanging love and will of God. It is STILL His heart to bring health, healing and wholeness to every area of your life. That has NEVER changed. Enjoy this article written by F.F. Bosworth (1877-1958). - Todd
"In the study of the Lord's compassion, we have a complete revelation of the Lord's willingness to heal. During His earthly ministry He was everywhere moved with compassion, and healed all "them that had need of healing." It is "this same Jesus" who, after saying, "It is expedient for you that I go away," is now seated at the right hand of God, "that He might be a merciful [compassionate] and faithful High Priest" for us. To have compassion is to love tenderly, to pity, to show mercy, to be full of eager yearning.
The [scripture above] begins with, "The Lord is merciful and compassionate." These sentiments concerning the nature of God are expressed over and over throughout the Scriptures. God's greatest attribute is love - this is connected to His Fatherhood. The most conspicuous statements in the Scriptures about our heavenly Father are the declarations concerning His love, His mercy, His compassion. There is no note that can be sounded concerning God's character that will so inspire faith as this one. In our revivals, I have seen faith rise "mountain high" when the truth of God's present love and compassion began to dawn on the minds and hearts of the people. It is not what God can do, but what we know He yearns to do, that inspires faith.
By showing His compassion everywhere in the healing of the sick, Jesus unveiled the compassionate heart of God to the people. The multitude came to Him for help. How insidiously Satan has worked to hide this glorious fact from the people. He has broadcasted the unscriptural, illogical, and worn-out statement that the age of miracles is past, until he has almost succeeded in eclipsing the compassion of God from the eyes of the world. Modern theology magnifies the power of God more than it magnifies His compassion; His power more than it does the great fact that "the exceeding greatness of His power [is] to usward." But the Bible reverses this and magnifies His willingness to use His power more than it does the power itself. In no place does the Bible say that "God is power," but it does say that "God is love." It is not faith in God's power that secures His blessings, but faith in His love and in His will.
Benevolence is the great attribute of God. He is infinitely good. He exists forever in a state of entire consecration to pour forth blessings upon His creatures whenever they make it possible. Everyone can do this..." - F.F. Bosworth
