Hello. Have you ever wondered how God feels about us? I know I'm getting older

2
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:09.000
and I've thought about that a lot of times. How does God not just feel about

3
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.380
us, but how does he feel about me? Hi, my name is Kathy Haker and I have a passion

4
00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:19.480
to help other people understand God's grace. I found the answer to my question,

5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:24.800
how God feels about us, in the story of the prodigal son. Most of us can identify

6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:31.200
with him. We've made pig pens of our own and we've been far away from the father.

7
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:36.920
But in the story of the prodigal son, he came back home to his dad and when he

8
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:42.040
did, the Bible says the father didn't feel angry, he didn't feel disappointed,

9
00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:47.400
he didn't feel disgust, he said he felt compassion. Have you ever thought about

10
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:52.200
that? That when we're in the pig pen or we're on the way home from the pig pen,

11
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:57.880
how God feels about us is in one word, compassion. The Bible says that when

12
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.040
Jesus looked about out on the crowds, he felt compassion for them because they

13
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:08.000
were like sheep without a shepherd. Be comforted today that God's not mad at

14
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.280
you. He has compassion on you.
