Lamentations.


“I will never forget this awful time as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: the faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease, Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning, I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord. And it is good for people to submit at an early age to the yoke of his discipline. Let them sit in silence beneath the Lord’s demands. Let them lie face down in the dust, for there may be hope at last. Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them and accept the insults of their enemies. For no one is abandoned by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion because of the greatness of his unfailing love.” -Lamentations 3:20-32

This was the scripture that the Lord revealed to me this morning. I love that he gives us the chance to start fresh! Every. Single. Day. His mercies are NEW. We need to submit to the yoke of his discipline when it comes, need to be aware of situations in which His way is the better one, even when it might not be our first choice. Even when we can’t “feel” him, he has not abandoned us. I’m so blessed that he shows me compassion. I know I need it desperately. I pray that I will put my hope in the Lord and not in man. That I will view things in the mindset of a heavenly kingdom instead of an earthly one. He is my inheritance. Not anything that I can see in front of me right now. I hope this scripture blesses you. An actual life update is coming soon J J I just have a feeling that someone needs to read this scripture this morning. I love you all so much. I’m literally having the time of my life here. 

Here's my new favorite song that my best friend showed me last week! I think y'all will like it!
