Love Lifted Me


II Chronicles 36-Ezra 2

Israel is carried into exile; a Persian King is moved by God to repatriate them to rebuild God’s Temple and the returnees are listed.  In the middle of this passage is a moment of ultimate clarity: “And the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent word to them again and again by His messengers, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.”  II Chronicles 36:15
I love the compassions of our Lord.  He continually bathes us in His goodness and whispers His truths into our hearts.  Again and again, men and women all over the earth proclaim Him and His message of love and reconciliation to all who will hear.  Songs are sung, verses are written and instruments play out His anthem of love.  Snuggling grandbabies, big full moons, honeysuckle, kissing, roses and stretching anoint us daily with His compassions. 

Yes, we love the compassions of our Lord.  One of His greatest compassions is a believer with a thankful heart!  Let us each live as a committed compassion of our Lord!!!   “I was sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore…”
