"God's Compassion"

"For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants." (Psalms 135:14)

  Of all the chances for this, we have got to believe that God knows exactly what He is doing! Where to start; how about let's start with the beginning? "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." We all should know and understand the meaning and the power behind that statement; simply put, it is that basic understanding that God created everything from nothing, because He is God! But, do you realize something else that might be hard for some to fathom; that God knew before He even started His creation, that He would be sending His Son to die on our behalf. I know, it's hard to imagine that God would carry out making something that would require such a sacrifice; but there is a very similar scenario, on a much smaller scale, in the way God gave Abraham the glimpse of his descendants in Egypt, and how Abraham felt compassion for all that they would go through. If you don't know by now, that compassion was based in love! Yes, that's right: God knew full well all that man would be going through, but He had a very determined plan for man's future! (Jeremiah 29:11) It was His plan all alone, because He loves His children, which includes you and me. The word, "repent," is the same word from Genesis 6:6, that says, "And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." Why go through with it at all, if it was going to cause so much pain? They say that this up-coming generation of people are not all that interesting in raising children; based upon the conditions and the threat of climate change, or whatever else might be going on in the world, they just don't feel that interested in bringing children into a world that is just going to harm them. What a waste of love! What a waste of opportunities to love! Pretty much, that word repent, actually means, to have compassion; based upon the word, 'compare'!  I know, it hurts too much to think about, but that is life; we always which it could have been different, that there could have been another way; saying, Why did it have to be this way? Why couldn't it be more like this or that? I am 100% sure that the when it comes to God, the word repent, does not refer to the word regret...

"And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground." (Luke 22:41-44)
