compassion and fear

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
Psalm 103:13 NIV

~*~*~*~

i fear that i have disappointed God in many ways and therefore, having fear that i would be humbled as well.

i was encouraged to be reminded of God's compassion to his children.  this had me thinking of how i love my kids in spite of their stubbornness and selfishness.

Lord, forgive me for my childish ways and for being selfish and stubborn.  help me to hold on to your compassion and grace knowing that you forgive me of my sins if i don't give up and continue to hope in you.
