what must it have been like as the parents of john the baptist, jesus, or sampson? Knowing your child is born for some great task, yet seeing them grow toward it from infancy. God does not often reveal the future with such detail because we tend to be foolish when we have a guarantee of His blessing.
Foolish, yet courageous. God’s promises and loyal love are what give us courage for the days ahead. As lamentations says in today’s reading, “i have hope when i think of this, the Lords love never ends”
I have a weak will and make plenty of mistakes, and this promise gives me courage amidst my failings. Gods love never ends. His mercies are new every morning.
Father help me to love with great courage knowing that you won’t abandon me in my failings. thank you that although i don’t have many promises regarding the future, i have this one.
lamentations 3:21-26
