It was a revolutionary idea and a turning point for me when I decided to take God at His Word. There were two specific words that caught my attention: Never and Every. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end, they are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness. These words are found in Lamentations 3:23 and they will change our life and our direction in life.
When I most wanted to give up, when I was all but convinced that God would surely give up on me, I decided to believe that the words never and every were true. God’s love NEVER ends. It is worth noting in the original Hebrew language, the word never translated in English means never. His mercy never ends. His mercy is new EVERY morning. This means that we can open our eyes every day knowing because of God’s mercy we are right with God. Not because we were perfect yesterday, or the day before, but because today, like every day, God extends His mercy. His mercy never comes to an end to anyone who will receive it.
