The thought of my suffering and homelessness
is bitter beyond words.
I will never forget this awful time,
as I grieve over my loss.
Yet I still dare to hope
when I remember this:
The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
I say to myself, "The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!
For no one is abandoned
by the Lord forever.
Though he brings grief,
he also shows compassion
because of the greatness of his unfailing love.
For he does not enjoy hurting people
or causing them sorrow.
Chapter 3, verses 19-24 and 31-33
This passage gave me strange comfort last night as I was grieving for the loss of How Things Should Be. I pray that it brings you similar comfort.

I love these verses. They've been especially meaningful lately. I hadn't read them in the Message though. Thanks for sharing them.
