We lit our love candle tonight. A day late due to sick kiddos. We sat around the table after a day of frustration and fighting. A day where everything that could have went wrong seemed to do so. It has been a long week not lacking in disappointments. Why is it when we need love the most it is sometimes the last thing we reach for?
So we sit in the candlelight and read the words. His promises of love and rescue. Words we have memorized. Promises we have clung to when life has broken wide open.
They sink in and I breathe deep for the first time all day. Sometimes we just need the truth of God's love to wrap around our hurting, messy days. To hold us fast and remind us that we are not alone.
So thankful tomorrow is a new day.
"This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness."
- Lamentations 3:21-23
