"He sees us with compassion and not with blame."
Julian of Norwich
"When He saw the vast crowds of people, Jesus' heart was deeply moved with compassion, because they seemed weary and helpless, like wandering sheep without a shepherd."
Matthew 9:36
He has only one stance towards us, only one attitude, and it is not disappointment, frustration, or blame. It is compassion. It is deep, loving concern. His heart is deeply moved by us! He knows firsthand how challenging it is to live in this world. He never blames us for being human or having struggles. He never blames us for our worries or fears, never scolds us for our problems or failures. He just enters into our hurting moments and hugs us close to His heart, with complete love and tenderness, like a shepherd hugging his frightened little lamb.
A thought: Instead of blaming me for my problems or failures, He just hugs me even closer!
