\\u201cWhere is the love?\\u201d

I am the man who has seen affliction under the\\xa0rod of his wrath; he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light; surely against me he turns his hand again and again the whole day long. He has made my flesh and my skin waste away; he has broken my bones; he has besieged and enveloped me with\\xa0bitterness and tribulation;\\xa0he has made me dwell in darkness like the dead of long ago.

Lamentations 3:3-6 (ESV)

My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and\\xa0therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the\\xa0Lord\\xa0never ceases;\\xa0his mercies never come to an end; they are new\\xa0every morning; great is your faithfulness. \\u201cThe\\xa0Lord\\xa0is my portion,\\u201d says my soul, \\u201ctherefore I will hope in him.\\u201d The\\xa0Lord\\xa0is good to those who\\xa0wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the\\xa0Lord.

\\u201cFor\\xa0God so loved\\xa0the world,\\xa0that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not\\xa0perish but have eternal life.
