Is God a God of compassion? How are we to respond to God's compassion?

VERSE:

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (New International Version)

The God of All Comfort

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

LESSON:

Is God a God of compassion? How are we to respond to God's compassion?

This verse tells us that God is "...the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort...". It tells us that through God...that we are comforted "...so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God...". God is a God of compassion. He calls on us to share the compassion that we received...with those in need around us.
