God's Compassion

2 Peter 3:9

Common English Bible (CEB)
9 The Lord isn’t slow to keep his promise, as some think of slowness, but he is patient toward you, not wanting anyone to perish but all to change their hearts and lives.

I walked outside today without shoes on my feet and instantly my feet began to burn from the heat of the concrete. Today, it is 113 degrees in Arizona.  That is HOT, ya'll!!  But it made me think about God's long suffering, compassion and patience.  God continuously delays Christ's return because He wants more children in His family.  The heat searing though my feet was a reminder that God had a redemptive plan in place before the beginning of time.

He not only spared us from death and Hell, but He provided supernatural provision and abundance in this life.  God shared His bounty with us.  Shouldn't we share that news with others?  Choose to share the mercy of God's love with someone today.  It literally means the difference between life and death.
