Compassion

"It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is thy FAITHFULNESS"!
Lamentations 3v22-23

This is one of my  favorite verse to recite in the morning. It reminds me that there is nothing good in me. It is only by the mercies and goodness of the Lord that I am still in the land of the living. It also tells me the sweetest words of love: That God's love for me is new EVERY MORNING! It doesn't matter how yesterday ended, today \this morning God is pouring his love afresh. It's like starting on a new page. My prayer then goes like this. Lord I know your love for me is beyond and above my understanding. I know that all of heaven is interested in the happiness of man(me). Help me to receive this your love for me. I pray that you may give me new love for the children. I pray that i will  love them as though i have never loved them before. To love afresh, to be gentle and patient. Is your love for your children, husband/ wife new every morning? You see God's love is unconditional. He does not withhold it because of our rebellion(Not like we  do when someone has done us wrong, and start playing strange). God is always looking out for us,constantly drawing the heart nearer to him- I thank Him for that.I hope you do too!
