Devotion
“The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.” What a wonderful description of who God is, especially since we are an important part of “all that he has made.” God offers us compassion and love because that is how God is. Today we can turn back to God and find the compassion and love we so want and need. We come hungry, and God offers these gifts to us: grace and mercy and abundance of love.
Prayer
Dear God, we come to you because you love us. Help us to receive your healing mercy and love. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
