I will restore them because of my compassion. It will be as though I had never rejected them, for I am the Lord their God, who will hear their cries. – Zechariah 10:6 (NLT)
FILLED WITH COMPASSION
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you feeling down with so much suffering?
Has the world’s demand been very challenging?
Don’t worry, the Lord promised to restore you
He never rejects any of his creation
For he is full of love and compassion.
He hears your cries for mercy and pardon
He will grant you forgiveness and freedom
He will forgive and forget your past sins
As long as you confess, you will be redeemed.

There were many years in my life that I experienced trauma in many different forms. It was very difficult to navigate to life with all these scars. When my son was born, all the effects of the traumas which date back as far as two years old started to crawl up on me. Thank God that his spirit guided me all through those trials and sufferings. He restored me and had compassion over me when I ran to him and depended on him on everything especially raising my son alone. I made a vow to God that he will be my perfect husband so I could be a good parent to my child. He was faithful to fulfill his part raising my son and hearing all my cries for help.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for hearing my cries.
REFLECTION
How has God shown you compassion?
