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. Lamentations 3:22–23 (NIV)
God supplies more and more and more
of his love today, tomorrow, and forever. The prophet Jeremiah says God’s
merciful love never fails. His love is like a bottomless cup of coffee served
fresh every morning.
Since God’s compassion starts
fresh every morning, you will never reach a point where his love runs out. This
means you can never blow it so bad that God will abandon you. He is the
God-of-second-chances. If you’re uncertain that God can (or has) forgiven you
for things you did in the past, ask him to help you replace your fears with
faith.
Talk about it –
God will make it so. The Hebrew word
for faithfulness is related to the word amen, which means “so be
it.” When you close a prayer with amen, you’re quite literally acknowledging
that God is faithful to make it so. How will your prayers change now that you
know God will make it so?
