“Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child;
Burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor;
Because more are the children of teh desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord.
“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back;
Lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.
For you will spread out to the right and to the left;
Your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
For your Maker is your husband – the LORD Almighty is his name –
The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth!”
Isaiah 54: 1-5
Yes, my heart is indeed so very full this morning.
