Responding to Unexpected Grace

Perhaps this man carried bitterness. Perhaps he was unkind to his wife or judgmental toward others. Perhaps a life lived in harshness has left him with regret.

Yet the llama pays no attention to any of that. She is the one who reaches out first — sensing the need in front of her — and the man, in a moment of vulnerability, responds and reaches back.

This is the kind of compassion that grows in you as you allow Me in — Me, the God of compassion.

Become open to compassion, even toward yourself.

With love beyond measure,

Jesus

About the Author

Cyndi is a Christian writer with a heart for grace and freedom in Christ. Through fresh reflections and scripture‑rooted devotionals, she invites readers into rest and relationship. She longs for those who see themselves only as “sinners saved by grace” to know they are truly good in Christ, and for those who strive and battle, to hear that the fight is finished. Her writing is shaped by the promise from Isaiah 40:1–2 — God’s call to “Comfort, comfort My people with gentle, compassionate words. Speak tenderly from the heart to revive those in shame, and proclaim that their warfare is over. Their debt of sin is paid for, and they will not be treated as guilty. Prophesy to them that they have received from the hand of God twice as many blessings as all their sins” (paraphrase from TPT). She lives in Florida with her husband of 37 years and their dog, Smudge.
