God's Sympathy

Thank you all for your votes on my poll and comments about my blog makeover! I appreciate it so very much. It looks like by the poll (and comments you left) that you would all like to see a new design for my blog. I'm actually starting to work on something and hopefully I will get the new design up very shortly!


Anyways, some verses that I was reading in my devotions that really stuck out to me was:

Hebrews 4:15-16
For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are- yet without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

These verses really impacted me and made me realize that God is able to sympathize with us through all or struggles and problems. When Jesus was down here on earth He had all the temptations that man does, but didn't sin. But the great thing is that He knows those feelings that we have and He can sympathize with us because He knows how they felt. But even though God is sinless and hates sin He still chooses to listen to us and love us despite of our sins and evil ways. He still shows us mercy and grace no matter what we have done and will forgive us when we ask. 

I just thought I would share that with you since those verses really stood out to me. : ) I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend! 

Here are some reminders of things going on.....

1. Don't forget about the Weekly Character Challenge for this week. It is to spend more time with God this week than you normally do. Pray for a few minutes longer or spend more time reading the Bible. if you want to look at the post for the weekly challenge here is the link to the post- Weekly Character Challenge

2. Also, feel free to enter the design challenge over on my other blog (Designed To Inspire). This week Hannah came up with the challenge idea. The challenge is to create a design with your favorite Bible verse, quote or song lyrics. If you want to take a look at the design challenge post here is the link for that as well- Design Challenge
