Lamentations 3:22-33

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases," confesses the writer of Lamentations, casting unbridled hope into the face of despair and sorrow. "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases."

Despite all indications to the contrary, we know this, too. We know that though the drought in California continues and tornadoes and floods ravage many areas; though relationships at home seem broken and public safety unravels; we know the truth of this hope-filled confession. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, even as creation groans for redemption. God's love never ceases. We can confess this too, clinging to the truth that we know ultimately prevails, even as human dignity and hope suffer before our eyes on the evening news. "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases ... For he will have compassion." Do you dare cast hope in this direction? Do you dare to place your hope in this confession?

Teach us, O God, to cling in faith to your love, especially when all seems lost. Remind us to call out again and again against violence and injustice that your love never ceases ... never. Then call us to join your loving compassion. Amen.
