Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassion's 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
We are not consumed because of His great love. How awesome is that? Last week I threw myself a pity party. What's worse is I invited some friends. Ugh. Let me just say that I am thankful for good friends, who still appear to want to be my friend, in spite of me. An example of that before mentioned great love. The invites went out when I started to feel lonely and like nobody loved me, respected me, blah blah blah. I was listening to lies. It's a slippery slope when you start to do that. After a long talk with one of those fab friends I took a walk and sobbed. I hadn't cried like that in a long time. I'm due every so often. It was there that the Lord reminded me that we've been here before but we don't have to stay. This same place of looking for contentment, security, significance, love, respect, comfort, etc. everywhere except the place where I already have it. I had slowly crept back towards putting this on people instead of leaving it in the Lord's hands. So of course I felt rotten for doing so but He reminded me that with Him every morning is new. Praise the Lord for that. I look forward to more new.
