"His mercies never come to an end," Lamentations 3:22.

Whose mercies? God's mercies. Jehovah God's mercies. What about them? They never end. His compassions do not fail. They do not exhaust. The Lord's steadfast love never ends. Never? Never. Does God's love, do his mercies, wear out, lose the oomph? No, never - in fact, renewed in the morning, every single morning. It's just like God's faithfulness. Which is great. Really great! (God is faithful though every man be false.) What if we're in the middle of bad stuff brought on by God? The bad stuff he parcels out, well, then he's the very one who can change it. And he does: The Lord is our portion. He is our inheritance! O soul bowed down with sorrow, hope against hope! Soul, you'll be vindicated in hope. Believe it!

As we visit with a brother or sister today, we remind of God's never ending mercies. We strengthen trust in the power of Jesus' goodness. And we give thanks, together.
