God looks at me with the compassion of a loving father.

A Bible affirmation for loving yourself, rooted in Psalm 103:13.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

Psalm 103:13 · BSB

Reflection

A good father isn't shocked when his small child stumbles. He picks her up. David says that's how God is with you, and the next verse adds that He remembers we are dust. He knows your limits.

A prayer

Father, thank You for Your compassion. Help me be as kind to myself as You are to me.
