Read: Lamentations 3:25-33

³¹ For no one is cast off 
   by the Lord forever. 

This verse has been used as proof text for the belief that God will not abandon people in hell forever. But it’s context seems clear: it is meant for “those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him” (v. 25).

Do you feel like you’ve been cast off because of your disobedience to the Lord?Do not lose heart! Repent, return to the Lord and “wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD” (v. 26).

When we return to God’s fold, we may experience blessings untold.
