Lamentations.

Lamentations 3:19-33
Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning great is your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I will hope in Him." The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. Let him sit alone in silence when it is laid on him; let him put his mouth in the dust- there may yet be hope; let him give his cheek to the one who strikes, and let him be filled with insults. For the Lord will not be cast off forever, but, though He cause grief, He will have compassion according to the abundance of His steadfast love; for He does not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men.

This past weekend I was visiting my fiance and at his church on Sunday we studied that passage. I've always loved these verses, especially the part that says the steadfast love of the LORD never ceases. I mainly just loved that part because it's so beautiful. I was able to see a new angle on the passage then how I had looked at it before though, and loved it. It was so much more then just the fact that the verses sound nice. This passage talks about how we should be silent before our God. We should wait for Him quietly.
So often we make mistakes and we try to come up with excuses or just do good things to make up for our wrongs.
Instead, we need to come before God humbly and admit that we are wrong, confess our sins and shut up. (The pastor really did say to shut up... I'm not makin' this stuff up myself! haha)
God has an abundance of steadfast love and He will have compassion on us!
On my way home Monday night I spent a big chunk of the drive with my radio off and my phone put away. I just talked with God and prayed for the people I love... and the people I don't especially care for. I asked for strength to conquer my struggles. It was just me and God, and it was wonderful to just focus completely on Him. He is so compassionate and has this huge abundance of love that He doesn't hold back from us. 

I could never ask for anything more.
I love my heavenly Father so much.
