Lamentations 3:31-33
31 For men are not cast off
by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.
33 For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to the children of men.
This is a ongoing theme that the author shows in this book. God's love is so great and so awesome. Even in this time of judgement and punishment, God still tells us that He loves us. It grieves Him to bring punishment on His people.
We are a people of sin, deserving of death, yet God grieves for us, and shows us compassion, through His son who died on the cross for our sins. God never wishes to punish, yet He must, and through His compassion, allowed us to be forgiven.
Lord, I thank you for your forgiveness. I would never ever want to go through what these people of Judah went through. Their punishment of their sins are so great and I can honestly say that it would be tough to go through that. Yet, your love allowed us to be forgiven through the death of Christ Jesus. Lord, thank you for your love. Thank you for your compassion on your people. Let your words speak into my life of how great you are to me. I thank you and praise you in all of Jesus Holy name.
Amen.
