Poem Of Exile - Jerusalem Will Rise!

Hi! and happy weekend to all of us, GUYS.  For our "food for the soul" this Saturday:

THE GOOD NEWS (27 February 2016)
"Shepherd YOUR people with your staff, shepherd the flock of YOUR inheritance that dwells alone in the scrub, in the midst of a fertile land.  Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old, in the days when YOU went out of Egypt. 
Jerusalem, Then And Now
Show us YOUR wonders.  On seeing this the nations will be put to shame in the midst of all their might.  People will lay their hands upon their mouths and they will not believe the news.
They shall lick the dust like snakes, like creatures that crawl upon the ground.  They will come trembling out of their strongholds; they will be in fear of YOU. 
Who is a GOD like YOU, who takes away guilt and pardons crime for the remnant of his inheritance?
Who is like YOU whose anger does not last?  For YOU delight in merciful forgiveness.
Once again YOU will show us YOUR loving kindness and trample on our wrongs, casting all our sins into the depths of the sea.
Show faithfulness to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, as YOU have sworn to our ancestors from the days of old." - Micah 7:14-20 


(This looks on GOD, humans, and GOD's mercy toward humankind: from these three, praise is born.)
