In this powerful exploration of God's character, we delve into Exodus 34:5-7, where God reveals Himself to Moses. Surprisingly, the first word God uses to describe Himself is 'compassionate'. This Hebrew word, 'rachum', is rooted in 'rechem', meaning 'womb'. It paints a vivid picture of God's love as visceral and passionate, like a mother's love for her child. Through various biblical stories, from King David to the Prodigal Son, we see this compassion in action. This revelation challenges our often distant or stoic view of God, showing us a deity who is deeply moved by our cries and responsive to our needs. As we meditate on this truth, we're invited to trust in God's unfailing compassion, even in our darkest moments, and to reflect this same compassion in our interactions with others.
