DID YOU SEE THE SUN RISING TODAY?
Each morning presents us with a blank page, an opportunity to do everything new and different. Take advantage of this opportunity!
Each morning presents us with a blank page. Today is a new day. This morning brings to us another opportunity to do it differently.
“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22,23).
God renews His mercies every morning. Every day, He gives humanity and you a chance. We usually bring things from the past (the good, but mainly the bad ones). Whatever you’ve already done, what matters is what you do today. The good you did back then was good for that time. Have you always done the right things? Very good! But you have to keep doing it. Yesterday’s good was left for yesterday.
We carry more of the bad past than the good because bad memories and events are more traumatic. Every thing from our that we carry within us holds us back, tying us up in the present and the future. Perhaps you are punishing and condemning yourself – the past usually condemns us by saying: “Why did you do this? You are condemned to live like this.”
But God is different. He said to the woman caught in adultery: “Go and sin no more” (John 8:11). He didn’t keep searching for her past life. If she left there and continued in adultery, it was her problem. But if she repented, God’s mercy reached her and she was saved.
Thus, God’s mercies have no end as long as there is a tomorrow. The end will happen someday, but if today a new day has dawned for you, there is mercy.
Every morning, I look at heaven and praise God for His mercy and the generosity He gives us.
If you waste God’s mercies, you are destroyed by your own choices. However, if you change how you act and think, you will receive peace, forgiveness and the opportunity to move on and start from scratch.
