“RECALL HIS COMPASSION-LOVE WE DID NOT EARN”

Lamentations 3:22 — “Because his compassions fail not.”

Jeremiah does not separate mercy from compassion. God’s mercies flow from His compassionate heart. Judah did not deserve compassion, yet God continued to show it. His compassions did not fail, even when His people failed repeatedly.

This truth ought to humble us deeply. God did not love us after we cleaned ourselves up. He loved us when we were at our worst. Christ did not die for a version of us that did not exist yet—He died knowing every sin we would ever commit. That is compassion beyond human understanding.

We often struggle with guilt because we know ourselves too well. But God’s compassion is not fragile. It does not wear out. A RESET occurs when we stop measuring God’s love by our failures and start resting in the truth that His compassion does not fail—ever.
