The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end … (Lamentations 3:22)
Daily reading: 2 Chronicles 31
In the midst of heartbreak and sorrow, the writer of Lamentations clings to a truth that still holds today—God’s steadfast love never runs out. The original Hebrew uses the word chesed for “great love,” pointing to God’s covenant loyalty, His unwavering, committed kindness. In Jesus, we see that love made flesh. Though we deserved judgment, we are not consumed—because Christ was. On the cross He bore the full weight of our sin so that we might receive unending compassion. His mercy is not seasonal, not scarce, and not earned by service. It is new every morning, because Jesus lives forever as our faithful Saviour. If you feel overwhelmed, remember: God’s mercy didn’t run out yesterday, and it won’t today. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the embodiment of God’s compassion, and let your soul rest in His unfailing love.
