**Morning** **The Lord will not cast off for ever: but though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion.** Fear thou not, ... saith the LORD: for I am with thee; I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure. -- For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. **Lam 3:31,32; Jer 46:28; Isa 54:7,8,10,11; Mic 7:9** [Saturday 12-August, 2023](https://t.me/daily_light)
