Quick thought

I might as well add this, from my reading tonight:
"The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not chide, nor will He keep His anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgression from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust."

Just that last line is amazing. Sure, it's amazing that our sins are forgiven and gone without a trace, but... God also remembers what we are made of! God has compassion on us- because we are human! How many times do we forget that? I have seen it a sad many tines that an authority, say, a father, will leave no leeway for the fact that his son or daughter is human. And, worse, they would often do the same exact thing in the other person's shoes. Thank God, I have awesome parents, who 99% of the time remember stuff like that!
