Lamentations 3-5

The frist part of chapter 3 speaks of the sorrow that God has placed upon the people. There is no visible image of the goodness of God to be seen. Then in verse 21 the writer changes his tone. In spite of the hopelessness that surrounds him his faith in God clings to the "last" truth about God's nature: God's love NEVER fails.  knowing this the worst of times are bearable because God continues to pour out his love on his people. Though anguish and insults rain down the loving hand of God is ever present in the lives of the faithful. And that love provides a hope that cannot be extinguished.
It took me about 10 minutes to read this portion of Lamentations.
