WE ARE WELCOME

READING: PSALM 103:13-19

Verse 14: “For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.”

No one knows each of us as well as our Holy Heavenly Father does. He completely understands us down to the very most basic and uttermost aspects of who we are. Along with that intimate knowledge of us all, He also has merciful compassion for us. The result is that our Savior knows ourlimitations and weaknesses, but does not allow them to interfere with His loving responses to us. Many struggle with that - some are completely unable to accept it. In their earthly experiences they have received harshness and rejection as the result of their limitations and weaknesses. Consequently, they come to expect painful results when they believe they don’t measure up. That is not so with our God. He is not that way. He is different! Instead of harshness and rejection, the Father never fails to provide us with understanding, mercy and patience. Our Lord accepts, receives and loves us with perfected grace. Jesus is our peace and our abundant rest. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
