I read Ps. 103:4 today where it says, "The Lord crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion...." 

The crown of royalty depicts power, and as I considered the meaning this morning I applied it differently than I have in the past -- God, through the Holy Spirit, crowns us at conversion with the power of lovingkindness and compassion for humanity, that is our power, our crown. We break the jaws of wickedness with the power of lovingkindness and compassion.  We change the world for Christ because He has graced our hearts with love and compassion for all.
