"God's loyal love couldn't have run out, His merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great Your faithfulness!"

That is from Lamentations, chapter three, a verse that a lot of us are familiar with, just perhaps not from The Message version of the scriptures. But that is where I was readig this morning, as I awoke at 3:50 a.m. In actuality, I wasn't feeling well, but I took advantage of the time to check out the sunrise. Have you ever really done that? It was cloudy this morning, but the colors were so unreal, so beautiful. And they reminded me of how great God is, how He never gives up on us. Look at more of that chapter:

"I'm sticking with God "I say it over and over). he's all I've got left. God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It is a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God. It is a good thing when you are young to stick it out through the hard times. When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence. Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions; wait for hope to appear. Don't run from trouble. Take it full-face. The "worst" is never the worst. Why? Because the Master won't ever walk out and fail to return. If He works severely, He also works tenderly. His stockpiles of loyal love are immense......"

Stick with Him. He won't let you down.........EVER. If you forget, watch the sunrise sometime. Or even, watch the sunset and remember that tomorrow is a new day!
