Psalms 145:8

The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

• Compassion
• Grace
• Mercy
• Patience
• Love

In this verse, we see the defining attributes of God’s character—His grace, compassion, and mercy. He is described as being "slow to anger," which speaks to His incredible patience with humanity. Despite the sin and brokenness in the world, God does not respond with immediate judgment. Instead, He offers mercy and grace, giving us time to repent and turn back to Him. His "great mercy" is a constant reminder that His love is not earned but freely given. This is especially important for those who may feel undeserving of God's love due to past mistakes. His compassion toward us is not based on our perfection, but on His infinite kindness. This verse challenges us to reflect this aspect of God’s nature in our own lives. When we are wronged or hurt by others, we are called to slow down, respond with compassion, and offer forgiveness, just as God does for us. The mercy we receive from God should inspire us to show mercy to others.
