I don\u2019t understand why He loves me so much, but I know He does.  Unlike the blind men I didn\u2019t ask for anything but Jesus saw what I needed and reached down and helped me make my way.  His compassion for me was long before I received Him as my Lord and Savior so I didn\u2019t follow Him right away and even now I follow to far behind Him.  He wants me to walk right alongside Him and yet my selfish ways get me ahead of what He desires for my life.<\/p>\n<p>Application: I need to walk with my Lord each day and understand His plan for my life.  I need to have His compassion for others that He places in my life and help show them His compassion for them.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer: Oh my Lord, thank you for not giving up on this lowly servant of yours and I thank you for your compassion in my life.
