HOPE IN A STEADFAST LOVE

Lamentations 3:19-23

Good News Translation (GNT)

19   The thought of my pain, my homelessness, is bitter poison.

20    I think of it constantly, and my spirit is depressed.

21    Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing:

22    The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue,

23     Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.

We all have concerns, past life taunted by frustrations and decisions we regret, all these when we recall bring depression to us. Our hearts start to ache whenever we thought of future lost because of mistakes in our past that we can no longer mend. A lump in our throat suddenly forms, hard to swallow, when we know to ourselves we are liable for those misses of life.

But God never missed showing His unfailing love to us. We may have failures that continue to haunt our memories, but we also have God who wants to refresh our minds with His infinite mercy. All we need to do is fill our minds and hearts with Him, and let His faithfulness wash away our sorrows, and turn our tears to joy… because there is hope every morning as long as we live,- “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; “- Lamentations 3:22-23, and His faithfulness is greater than our pain. – “…great is thy faithfulness.”- Lamentations 3:23
