Cries of the Lovesick

In this life, we can be sure of three things: death, taxes, and suffering. Everyone suffers. And what we need most is the love of God that secures our hope. We are lovesick sufferers.

The Lord has used passages of Psalms 32-42 to drive belief in His unmerited favor deep into my soul, reviving it just enough to sustain the breaths I breathe and the steps I take.

I wanted to share some of the morsels that have been most savory to the life of my spirit.

I hope your faith is bolstered as well.
