Lamenatations 3:22-24

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him."
Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV)

     These verses have been popping up in my life for a couple of weeks now. I've prayed them over myself and my friends. These verse have been such a comfort for me and a reminder of how thankful I should be for all He is and all He provides for me.
 
A few truths I have pulled from these verses:
  • The Lord's great, unfailing, faithful, steadfast love for me is what causes Him to give me new compassions and mercies each morning.
  • His compassions are new, fresh every morning. Not just every morning, but each moment as needed.
  • His faithfulness is abundant! It's beyond sufficient for what I need or deserve.
  • The Lord is my portion and I can ask for the portion, the measure of whatever I need~strength, peace, comfort, grace~whatever it is I need. 
  • Because the Lord is my portion, the measure of whatever I need, I can place my hope in Him because His love never fails. He never disappoints.
God's faithfulness and grace is new every day so I don't have to be consumed by my trials, temptations, and struggles.

Thank You, Father, for Your unfailing love, Your fresh mercies, 
and abundant faithfulness beyond what I deserve!
