An early morning verse

 Good Morning🧡



"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;

His mercies never come to an end;

They are new every morning:

Great is Thy faithfulness."

Lamentations 3:22-23


This verse is like a warm blanket....so gentle and so calming. 

This is one that I have whispered under my breath, so many times, especially when my (human) strength felt thin. 

I woke up early (3:00 A.M.) and this verse came to my heart.  Was it for me? Was it for someone who will cross my path today?  I'm not sure, but I feel led to share this verse. 

There have been many times in my life when I have clung to these words...when life felt too heavy and uncertain.

This verse is for us all!!  

No matter what season we are going through we can rest assured that 

His love never stops. His mercies never run out.

Not yesterday. Not today. Not in the years ahead.


New mercies look like breath when yesterday may have felt suffocating. New mercies look like a sunrise, reminding me that darkness doesn't win.  New mercies look like forgiveness when I have failed. 

If your heart is weary, I pray that you find rest in God's unfailing love. 


The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.....And I am so grateful we don't have to earn it.  We only need to receive it.

  8. Oh, I love this verse, and the old hymn that goes with it, "Great is Thy Faithfulness". Yes, "morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hands have provided, great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord unto me." Amen. I believe it and claim it too.Faith for today and bright hope for tomorrow...Amen. So wonderful to be reminded. Thank you.

  11. Thank you for sharing, it was helpful today...I also just read your update on Sam. I am still holding you both close in prayer. I can't imagine how difficult it is for you to want to help and not know exactly how. I hope he finds some relief from the pain soon and that the doctors will give you some clarity.

  17. Shug, I love that verse. Thank you for sharing. I just read Sam's update and I'm so sorry that y'all are in this season. It's scary. I pray the new doctor will have some new ways of treating Sam and hopefully he will start to feel better. You both are in my prayers.

 I woke up yesterday morning and decided to wash my hair.  Now you might be asking why on earth would I be telling you that I washed my hair...
