Excerpt from a story of God’s tender mercy:
A pastor friend tells of a dying woman he visited in the hospital. He talked to her about God and His love, but she responded, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I can’t form any picture or notion in my mind of God.”
“What do you think about when you imagine Jesus?” the pastor said.
“I think about a man, a good man,” she said.
“God reveals himself through Jesus. When you consider Jesus, you see God as He wants to be known.”
“Ah,” she replied. “That makes more sense.”

Prayer:
Dear Father, help me be a sign of hope to some hurting person you bring into my life. I need your hope too. Fill my heart with the knowledge of your tender mercies and my mouth with a word from you. Free me up to offer comfort. Give me practical advice for how I can show compassion. In Jesus name, amen.”
