His love endures forever.
~Psalm 136:1
When you turn the TV or radio on to listen to the news these days, all you hear being discussed are things like, how bad the economy is, how high the foreclosure rate is, how many people are expected to be without a job in the next few months, the continued debate over healthcare reform, grim details on the latest natural or man-made disaster and, of course, all the juicy gossip they can provide about the latest celebrity and/or political scandal going on. And, the list goes on and on.
Of course, most of us are worried about our own personal 'issues' which may or may not be related to those being discussed on the news. Things like, trying to pay all our bills, including attempting to also maintain the payments on our homes (which, for some, were affordable at first, but have now unexpectedly gone WAY up), our ever widening waistlines, our ever shrinking bank accounts, our increasing healthcare problems/expenses (this is especially difficult if you have a chronic illness) and/or our latest family members to announce they're getting divorced, which is more and more often because of infidelity.
For some, all these things just seem to keep stacking up and up and they wonder, 'What in the world am I gonna do? How can I keep living like this?' Some people get really discouraged and depressed. Some even consider ending it all because they can not see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
But that would be a VERY permanent solution to what are VERY temporary problems. What we must ALL remember is that ALL of these things are temporary, every single one of them. The ONLY thing that lasts forever is God's love for us. Hallelujah!!
Here is this complete Psalm about God's love. I recommend you read it out loud and more than once to let it sink in.
His love really does last FOREVER!

His love surely does endure forever and with Him we can face all things.........but I love how He gives beauty like the roses to encourage us.

Say it, friend! Well said, and so true. We do often think of our situations and circumstances as permanent when in reality they are just temporary. But how thankful I am that the God we serve can do ALL things, no matter how bleak the situation may be. :)
