My Daily Bread

The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:  therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.  Jeremiah 31:3-4 KJV I heard the words, “I have loved thee with an everlasting love,” this morning, so I looked it up and found this treasure along with it. His promise is clear. We, His children, though we may be in ruins now, and our adornment is that of weeping and mourning, He will yet again build us up. He will give us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3). And we will be, as Jeremiah has prophesied, adorned with tabrets and we’ll go forth dancing with those that make merry. Have a blessed Day! Amy # Hisloveiseverlasting # Hismerciesareneweverymorning

But that night, as I hid under the covers with my cell phone (so Chad could sleep) scrolling through my Instagram feed, I felt a familiar feeling of dissatisfaction and frustration building. I didn't have many friends and family on Instagram so I had started following total strangers with similar interests - especially femal...
