No one is abandoned by the Lord forever.
Though He brings grief, He also shows compassion
because of the greatness of His unfailing love.
For He does not enjoy hurting people
or causing them sorrow.
Great is His faithfulness.
-Lamentations 3:31-33

September 11, 2012 at 7:27 pmJenna, your willingness to post a bible verse is one if the many things i admire about you. Persevere friend. For skepticrina, i would encourage you to, with an open mind, read John 3:16-21. God created you and loves you, even when you don’t believe. I am praying for you.
