Good To All

The Psalmist reminds us that "The Lord is good to all/ and compassionate toward all his works." (Ps 145: 2).  We certainly see this in Jesus as he drew the line for no one, "ate and drank with sinners." Yet he did, out of love, challenge the self-righteous, the Scribes and Pharisees...those who were called to be teachers, and yet contradicted their teachings by their actions, as all of us are prone to do.  Looking at ourselves with compassion might be the place to start in our attempt to be honestly, authentically compassionate to others:  to see the goodness in ourselves that God sees, be able to see more clearly the goodness in others and then treat them accordingly.
