I am tenderhearted towards all that I have made.

Psalm 145:9 New International Version (NIV)

The Lord is good to all;
    he has compassion on all he has made.

The NLT says Psalm 145:9 this way... The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation.   What a loving Father we have! He is good and kind and compassionate to all that He has made! I have heard it said that God is the nicest person in the universe! Every day, He showers His compassion on us without many of us even aware of His tender mercies.

In the Garden of Eden, the serpent enticed Adam and Eve into questioning the goodness of God. In every day life, the enemy of our souls will try to do the same thing. "Is God really good?" "If He loved you why would you be suffering like you are?" etc. etc. I don't know many things, but I do know that my God and Father is good! He is gentle and loving and full of mercy towards you and me.

If you ever question the goodness of God, just watch a sunrise or sunset. Look at how our Father feeds the birds of the air. How he pours out his rain in due season. He is indeed tenderhearted and is good to all that He has made! ... And that includes us!
