Psalm 145: 8-9 The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all His creation.
Psalm 145:17 The Lord is righteous in everything He does; He is filled with kindness.
Psalm 86:5 O Lord, You are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for Your help.
Hebrews 12: 5-9, 10-11And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as His children? He said, "My child, don't make light of the Lord's discipline, and don't give up when He corrects you. For the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He punishes each one He accepts as His child...But God's discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in His holiness. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening--It's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
This song reminds me I have a loving Father who will never treat me with anything but kindness, who loves and accepts me, trains me and sets me on the right track when I stray. One who will never leave me nor forsake me. What a beautiful picture of the God we serve. Who is more blessed than us, His children!
Lord, thank You is the most inadequate phrase to say when it comes to You. I'm so beyond mere gratefulness...my words can never express the magnitude of this feeling, of what You deserve. But I say it anyway, knowing that You will know the depths of my heart's gratitude. Remind us each day of Who You are. In Jesus' Name I pray.
The Cross tells the story of God's kindness.
Romans 5:8 But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
