“His Inexhaustible Compassion”
by Dona Hake
Lamentations 3:22-23
“How enduring is God’s loyal love;
the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion.
Loyalty is characterized by faithfulness to commitments and obligations. God has promised to be loyal to us with His love, forgiveness, help, …oh my!…there are so many things that He promises to be to us. Jesus said in His Word that He would NEVER leave us or forsake us. We know that His love is ever with us and He loved us enough to send His only Son to die for us. Today let us praise Him as we meditate upon His inexhaustible compassion toward us!
At the end of the day we may wish that we would have tried a bit harder to do His commands but praise God He faithfully forgives and He promises to help me do better as we lean upon Him for all wisdom and strength. Isn’t this a wonderful love? Isn’t it wonderful to serve a living God that comes along side of us to help?
One of the first things I try to do each morning as I greet Him is remind myself and thank Him that His mercies are new every morning. My day is a fresh canvas and I am hoping I will do His will with His help. Thank God we have fresh starts each day and we can learn from our yesterdays. He is there to help us to keep working out those things that we are trying to get right in our lives, and it is all because of His great love for us. God’s love…a love that NEVER fails us!
