James 5:9-12; Psalm 103; Mark 10:1-12

Compassion and love

Living together can be difficult. James reminds us not to complain about each other and Jesus is questioned about the human situation of marriage breakdown. Perhaps our best hope is shown in the psalm: “my soul, give thanks to the Lord … and never forget his blessings … he forgives all your guilt, heals every one of your ills”. We all need forgiveness and healing and we have all received God’s blessings, for which we should be ever thankful.
