DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made. (Psalm 145: 9)

I seek compassion.

I do not seek mercy or forgiveness. I need both but these are not the object of my seeking. I run from pity.

I seek another who will share my passions.

The Hebrew word translated here as compassion is racham. It usually means to love deeply and completely; to fuse one's identity with another.

It can also refer to the womb or the bowels. Compassion is to feel and know the inner-most. To have compassion is to be inside another.

I seek to open myself to God. I seek to open myself and find God within.

Above is Passion by Felicitas.
