When man gives up hope, the Lord renews hope

For all those who contemplate taking their lives, I wish I could show them this writing from Jeremiah,

“Thus says the Lord: ‘Again there shall be heard in this place—of which you say, ‘It is desolate, without man and without beast’—in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Praise the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for His mercy endures forever’—and of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first,’ says the Lord” (Jeremiah 33:10-11).

The Jews believed that their hope had been cut off after the Babylonians wiped out Judah and Jerusalem, but since the Lord sent the destruction, He could also restore everything.

When things seem hopeless in your life, do not give up, but put your life in the hands of Him who created all things and see what He does
