Are you having a dark day....maybe even a dark period in your life where it seems everything is going wrong? Did you know that even in Lamentations, the saddest book in the Bible, there are bright spots:
Lamentations 3:22-25
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
Here, even amongst the ruins of Jerusalem, Jeremiah (the weeping Prophet) finds solace in the nature of God. If Jeremiah can seek rest in God after all he has endured, I think that we can too.
God's Grace be with You,
Fr Charles.
