GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS TO US, OH LORD!

GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS, OH LORD."
Lamentations 3:  22,23 NKJV
"YOUR MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING"

WE LOVE YOU, LORD, FOR LOVING US!



'YOU REDEEM OUR LIVES FROM DESTRUCTION;
YOU CROWN US WITH LOVING KINDNESS AND TENDER MERCIES'
PSALM 103:4 NKJV

Lamentations 3: 22,23,24 NKJV "It is through the Lord's mercies, we are not consumed.  Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is Your faithfulness.  The Lord is my portions says my soul.  Therefore I hope in Him."

Often, we think we are the faithful ones because~  perhaps, after being away from Him for a while, we return and begin to prayer again.  In actuality, the Lord is the Faithful One because He takes  the first step in the beginning by approaching and knocking at the door of our hearts, and stays and waits.  So, He has always been there, with us, waiting to hear from us.  The Lord is merciful to the soul who seeks Him.

Lamentations 3: 40.  "Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the Lord.  Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven." 

Psalm 103: 14  "For He knows our frame  He remembers that we are made of dust". .

PRAYER:
We thank you for another day, Lord...for watching over us through the night.  Thank you that your mercies are from everlasting to everlasting.  Thank you for waiting for us to realize that your love is timeless.   Bring us to a point where we worship before you, confessing our shortcomings and asking for your mercy and compassion that is so freely given,  for the asking.  Bring us to that place where we can speak with you freely and eagerly wait for your response.  How comforting to know You are with us and will always be with us.

Hebrews 4: 15 "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses but was in all point tempted as we are without sin.  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace in the time of need."
