About this image
The child's face is calm. Not because the building is not burning -- it is -- but because someone strong has them. Arms that have trained for this moment are wrapped around a small body, and the child has decided to trust them. "Praise be to the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort." Paul opens his most personal letter by naming God as two things: Father of compassion and God of all comfort. The Greek word for compassion here is oiktirmos, which carries a visceral quality -- it is not detached sympathy but gut-level ache for another's pain. The firefighter in this HD wallpaper embodies that -- running toward the danger, not away from it, driven by something deeper than duty. The smoke and red light create urgency. This is not a peaceful scene. But comfort in the biblical sense was never about the absence of danger. It was about presence in the middle of it. The Latin root of "comfort" is com-fortis -- "with strength." To comfort someone is to bring your strength into their crisis. Firefighters in the United States respond to approximately 1.3 million fires per year. Each response involves someone choosing to enter a burning structure for a stranger. That choice, repeated millions of times, is perhaps the most accessible image of divine compassion we have. Free HD download for phone and desktop.
