new every morning

Just found this :)

Audrey Assad:

I’m struck this morning by the quiet, persistent insistence of God’s constant re-Creation. The barren trees sleep through the winter and blossom again in the sun of springtime; the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, and a thousand more are sown. (John 12:24) And again, like so many mornings before this, a new day breaks; no day like today has ever or will ever be lived; it is new, fully and completely, different from each day before and after it.

Faith enlightens my vision so that I can see that God, who loves me far more than He loves the trees and the wheat and the morning, is re-Creating me. I am free to walk in the light. Maybe yesterday I forgot Him, or maybe I sinned against Him, but today is new, and so am I. I’ve got to live like I’m new, for faith and the Word of God tell me that God has made me so.

Today I am thankful for new beginnings, for fresh starts, and the mercies of God, which are new every morning.

Lamentations 3:22-23, NAB ”The favors of the LORD are not exhausted, his mercies are not spent. They are renewed each morning, so great is his faithfulness.”

1 John 1:9, NAB; “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Psalm 51:19, NAB; “My sacrifice, God, is a broken spirit; God, do not spurn a broken and humbled heart.”
