“But do not fear, O My servant Jacob, And do not be dismayed, O Israel! For behold, I will save you from afar, And your offspring from the land of their captivity; Jacob shall return, have rest and be at ease; No one shall make him afraid. Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,” says the Lord , “For I am with you; For I will make a complete end of all the nations To which I have driven you, But I will not make a complete end of you. I will rightly correct you, For I will not leave you wholly unpunished.”
Jeremiah 46:27-28 NKJV

Without doubt, God’s love is steadfast and His mercy never ends. Those whom the LORD loves He also loves till the end. Because of this, His correction and punishments for every wrong doing of His
children are always in love.

No matter how long the captivity has lasted, no matter the level of humiliation and the degree of desolation sin brings on a person, family, Church and the community of God’s people at large, there
is always an end, a glorious end for that matter. Reason is that God’s ultimate goal for chastising His erring children is always redemptive and not punitive.

Whatever the intensity and the manifestations of darkness presently all over the world or around you, the truth is the light will shine again and the thick darkness will soon disappear for the dawn of a glorious morning. Don’t be afraid or dismayed, God loves mankind still and He is in the midst of the world reconciling it to Himself in Christ Jesus.

The moment of divine visitation and intervention is imminent and His help is sure to come. When the time comes, you will not only be transformed, He will fully restore and bless you abundantly. So,
don’t give up yet, keep your faith and your hope alive in Christ Jesus for you will yet praise Him. Good morning and do have a joyful weekend.

Your brother,
