Hello. Have you ever wondered how God feels about us? I know I'm getting older
and I've thought about that a lot of times. How does God not just feel about
us, but how does he feel about me? Hi, my name is Kathy Haker and I have a passion
to help other people understand God's grace. I found the answer to my question,
how God feels about us, in the story of the prodigal son. Most of us can identify
with him. We've made pig pens of our own and we've been far away from the father.
But in the story of the prodigal son, he came back home to his dad and when he
did, the Bible says the father didn't feel angry, he didn't feel disappointed,
he didn't feel disgust, he said he felt compassion. Have you ever thought about
that? That when we're in the pig pen or we're on the way home from the pig pen,
how God feels about us is in one word, compassion. The Bible says that when
Jesus looked about out on the crowds, he felt compassion for them because they
were like sheep without a shepherd. Be comforted today that God's not mad at
you. He has compassion on you.
