13. To those who truly reverence his holy name, the Lord is a Father and
acts as such. These he pities, for in the very best of people the Lord sees much
to pity, and when they are at their best state they still need his compassion.
This should check every propensity to pride, though at the same time it should
yield us the richest comfort. Father feel for their children, especially when
they are in pain; they would like to suffer in their stead, their sighs and
groans cut them to the quick: thus sensitive towards us is our Heavenly Father.
His pity never fails to flow, and we never cease to need it.
