“For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.” Psalm 86:5 (ESV)
These words are addressed to God as in a prayer but the psalmist is not asking for anything. The verse is for us a promise. It reminds us how much God loves those who trust Him. It reminds us that when we call on Him in faith, we can experience His love as He responds to our call. It promises us what God is like. He is good, forgiving, and loving toward us. The steadfast love is sometimes called lovingkindness which is God's unending mercy toward us. We can know God through these attributes when we call on Him. We who believe know that calling on God is what He wants us to do. Yes, my friend, when we turn to God asking Him to help us, He showers His love upon us. This was the psalmist David's experience and it can be ours as well.
