Great is His Faithfulness

“But this I call to mind; therefore I have hope: The Lᴏʀᴅ’s loyal kindness never ceases; his compassions never end. They are fresh every morning; your faithfulness is abundant! “My portion is the Lᴏʀᴅ,” I have said to myself, so I will put my hope in him.”  —Lamentations 3:21–24 I
