This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the Lord's mercies
we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every
morning; great is Your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
"Therefore I hope in Him!" The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the
soul who seeks Him.
~ Lamentations 3:21-25
God's mercy is deeper than the ocean, wider than the sky. When you feel like
you've failed Him and can't turn to Him, He's there. Just as the sun rises
each morning, so His compassion shines on you...His loving arms are waiting
for you right now. Take your worries, your fears, your despair and turn to
Him. He will never turn away from the soul who seeks Him.
The Love of God
The love of God is greater far,
Than tongue or pen can ever tell,
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell.
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win.
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin.
chorus
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong.
It shall forevermore endure
The saints and angels song.
When years of time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God's love so sure shall still endure
All measureless and strong,
Redeeming grace to Adam's race
The saints' and angels' song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were ev'ry stalk on earth a quill
And ev'ry man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above
Would drain ocean dry,
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Tho stretched from sky to sky.
~ Frederick M. Lehman
Thank You for Your unfailing love, Lord. Without it, we'd be lost forever.
Show us Your love today in a special way. Help us to share Your love with
those around us, to be Your hands and heart reaching out to the hurting souls,
showing them Your grace and mercy.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
