The Compassionate Lord

Your sorrow will be turned into joy.
(John 16:20)



Dear Friend! The Lord Jesus Christ is a compassionate and loving person. When He was in this world, multitudes thronged Him everywhere He went. He was moved with compassion. It was this compassion for the needy person that made Him perform a miracle.



The Bible says that when He was on a mountainside, great crowds thronged Him. They brought the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and He healed every one of them. He knew the heart of every man and knew their problems. That’s why the people stayed with Him for three days and three nights even forgetting about food. They knew the Lord would turn their sorrows into joy and that’s why they were at His feet without food. But the Lord grew concerned about them and did not want to send them away hungry. Though His disciples were with Him, they did not have any compassion on the people. The Lord fed the people and healed the sick and delivered them of their problems. He wiped their tears and sent them home happy (Matthew 15:30-36).



The Lord is alive today and is the same forever. Yes, the compassion He had for the people two thousand years ago is the same even today. He knows the problems you go through and will wipe away your tears. Your sorrow will be turned to joy. The Lord came down to earth and sacrificed His life on the cross to turn your sorrows to joy. It is His delight to bless you and exalt you in life.



Dear Friend! You may be suffering in life but the Lord will exalt you very soon. Seek the Lord and holdfast to Him in your troubles and the Lord will lift you up. He will turn your sorrows into joy. The Bible says, “Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time” (1 Peter 5:6). There is a time to be exalted and God has that time in His hands. In Ecclesiastes 3:11, says God has made everything beautiful in its time. So, cheer up! He will exalt you to high positions in your spiritual life, family life, studies, workplace etc. The Lord will wipe away your tears and exalt you in life and you shall be in a blessed state in this month and all through the year.



Prayer:



Loving Lord Jesus,



I praise You that Your love and compassion are the same in this fast and uncertain world. Lord Jesus, the Bible speaks of Your compassion which made You perform miracles in the lives of the people and wiped their tears away. Deliver me from my problems in my life and wipe away my tears. I humble myself before You. Bless me and exalt me in life. Let Your compassion exalt me and keep me in a blessed state in life. Make me a blessing to others and let my life bring glory to You.



Amen.
