Fresh Mercies

Great is His faithfulness

His mercies begin afresh each morning

Lam. 3:23

Yesterday, my yard looked like a pond because for days, storms have been pelting us with rain.  The days have been dreary and cold.  But this morning, I woke up to sunshine glistening through the trees.  Somehow, the glorious sunshine has pushed its way through the clouds, even clearing up the soggy yard to make it green again.  And the birds are singing as if the storms had never happened.

This reminds me of how God’s mercy is fresh and new every single day.  So if we’ve blown it the night before, losing our cool with hubby and kids, there's good news.  God knows we’re human.  He also knows our heart.  We don’t have to beat ourselves up over our mistakes and failings…the devil does a good enough job of that.  We just need to lay it all at Jesus feet, ask for forgiveness and start again with His fresh, new mercies for the day. The Bibles says if we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us for that sin...as well as any other ugly thing we may have said or done.  (1John 1:9)

His “SON”shine has new fresh mercies for you and your family today.  So relax, the storm is passed and the birds are singing again.  Grab a cup of tea and bask in the Son today.
