       What is compassionate? Compassionate means benevolent, charitable, sympathetic, pitying, humane, tender, kindhearted, all heart. Let’s define merciful: forgiving, gracious, lenient, easygoing, gentle, forbearing, generous, softhearted, and mild. Yes, these are the characteristics of our loving Heavenly Father. God is on our side, no matter what. He is now, and he always will be. Let’s read a verse from Jesus to finish. This verse goes for Satan, for his demons, and for anyone else who would wish us harm: “Don’t be afraid of people, who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. The only one you should fear is the one who can destroy the soul and the body in hell” (Matthew, 10:28, NCV). It is God who saves us, and really no other being on the face of this earth can do anything to us that will ultimately, permanently destroy us, or destroy our relationships.
