Do you have a "Yet"

Like Jeremiah, I write what I feel. I use this blog to post my honest frustrations and feelings. I almost always end though with statements of truth about God to stand on. My negative is always accurately supported and sustained in His Promises. I was just reading Lamentations 3:16-24 and I want you to see all that he says before the "YET" and then all that he says after. It is so good and so rich and I don't know what I would do without this kind of a "YET" in my life.

16 He has made me chew on gravel.
He has rolled me in the dust.
17 Peace has been stripped away,
and I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18 I cry out, “My splendor is gone!
Everything I had hoped for from the Lord is lost!”
19 The thought of my suffering and homelessness
is bitter beyond words.
20 I will never forget this awful time,
as I grieve over my loss.

21YET I still dare to hope
when I remember this:

22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”

Do you see the richness we have in the hope that we have in HIM??? I'm on fire!!! God, Thank you for being our hope. Thank you for your word that is life to this parched soul!!!! <><
