Lamentations 5

Lamentations 5 

Like, go find some of the saddest music you can find on you tube and read this chapter...geez!  Especially this part, "joy is gone from our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.  The crown has fallend from our head...our hearts are faint...our eyes grow dim."  We are miserable and it is because of our sins.  Then Jeremiah continues with tears flowing from his face, "You, O Lord, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation.  Why do you always forget us?  Why do you forsake us so long?"  WOW WOW WOW.  Then he prays, "restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may return; renew our days..."  And He did!  Look at the Cross.  Through Jesus He restored us to Himself.  The curtain was torn from top to bottom giving us access to the Holy God.  Our days have been renewed...His mercies our new each morning.  We have joy again.  We are dancing again.  The crown is saved for us.  Our hearts are alive.  Our eyes are full of hope...only because of Jesus.  Look at the Cross!  He is coming to be with us soon!

There is more glory given unto God by coming unto Christ in believing, than in keeping the whole law ~ John Owen

You get another quote tonight only because this one made me chuckle and yet is so true:
