Psalm 103:8 The LORD is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

Supposedly, we are created in God's image. I say supposedly because when I read this verse I feel nothing like God. If this verse is true then my 'God-like' image must be only skin deep. I do not resemble my Lord at all.

Yesterday, I was given a great gift from a child. Some friends of mine have recently adopted a child from Siberia. Remembering how she ran around makes me reflect about our spiritual condition. We are like that. In our state of sin we were very much like an orphan in Siberia. Now, God has brought us home, but we're still acting like orphans partly because we don't know better and maybe mostly because we don't want to be constricted by this new life. We have learned our rules and now we stand opposed to our new home oblivious of the dangers that our Lord is wanting to save us from continually. His love is unfailing. He is compassionate and merciful.
