four seasons of love
 Photo from Stockstash
chaos. confusion. depression. hitting major bumps and ending up in cul de sacs. senselessness and hopelessness and nothingness. even as christians, we were never promised an easy life. but when it all comes to pass, i look at my hands and rejoice that i am still alive... my God, again, has carried me through.
even when i evolve mentally and emotionally, he doesnt change, he is ever faithful. i have learned to live a minute at a time, to think about the future, but not be anxious about it. he who loves me holds all my tomorrows, i will not be afraid.
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
-- Lamentations 3:22-23
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
-- words by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1923;
music by William M. Runyan, 1923
