We’ve all messed up. Said the wrong words, loved the wrong person, reacted the wrong way…walked when we should have waited, indulged when we should have resisted.
You’ll mess up more if you let yesterday’s mistakes sabotage today’s attitude!
The Bible says, God’s mercies are new every morning. Receive them. Learn a lesson from them.
Thunderbolts of regret can ignite and consume you. What makes the difference? Counteract them with downpours of God’s grace, daily washings of forgiveness.
Once a year won’t do. Once a month is insufficient. Sporadic misting’s leave you combustible. Weekly showers leave you dry. You need a solid soaking every day!
Lamentations 3:22-23 says “The Lord’s love never ends; His mercies never stop. They are new every morning.”
What a gift He has given to you. What more do you need?
