God is full of Compassion

God is a God filled with compassion.

Compassion:  suffering with another; mercy  

  

"For great is Your mercy toward me,
         And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious,
         Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth. (Psalm 86:13, 15)

Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” (Exodus 33:19)

"For a mere moment I have forsaken you,
      But with great mercies I will gather you." (Isaiah 54:7)

"But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity,
         And did not destroy them.
         Yes, many a time He turned His anger away,
         And did not stir up all His wrath;"   (Psalm. 78:38)

"He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion." (Psalm 111:4)

Jesus Raises the Son of the Widow of Nain

 ¹¹ Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd. ¹² And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. ¹³ When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” ¹⁴ Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” ¹⁵ So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.

¹⁶ Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, “God has visited His people.” ¹⁷ And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.  (Luke 7:11-17)

The Compassion of Jesus

³⁵ Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. ³⁶ But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. ³⁷ Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” (Matthew 9:35-37)

“This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:21-23)
