Thus says the Lord: “The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest, the Lord appeared to him from afar. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel! Again you shall adorn yourself with timbrels,and shall go forth in the dance of the merrymakers. Again you shall plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy the fruit.” Jeremiah 31:2-5. St. Bernard of Clairvaux said, "The love of the Bridegroom—or rather the Bridegroom who is Love—asks only love in return.
Let us pray, Loving Father, we thank You for loving us with an everlasting love. You build us up, adorn our lives with Your blessings, and allow us to enjoy the fruit of our labor. May Your loving care continue, and may we remain faithful and submit to You from one generation to the next. Amen.
“Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
