God\u2019s mercies are new each morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life with Christ is a process.  Believing and accepting Jesus into your life is the start of a new adventure.  Each day, as you pursue God, He\u2019ll reveal new truths to you.  Some realities are more challenging to accept than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I think back over some of the interactions I\u2019ve had in my life, I cringe.  Why?  Because God shows me my part in the problem.  Things God reveals to me, I\u2019ve been quick to judge and wrong about my judgment.  My selfishness impacts my relationships.  Poor communication harms friendships.  When God feels distant, I\u2019m the one who moves away, not Him.  The list is endless of the way God\u2019s presence in my life changes me every day.  His Spirit within me nudges me daily when I get off track.  And each morning, God\u2019s mercies are new:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;<\/em> they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.\u201d (<\/em>Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV<\/em><\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is a new beginning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what the mistakes of yesterday, today is a new day.  God forgives you; forgive yourself.  Start fresh today.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person who is in a lifelong battle of the bulge, each week, I step on the scale. My WW leader taught me this valuable lesson.\u00a0 No matter what the past week entailed, today is another Day One.\u00a0 In other words, each week is the opportunity to wipe the slate clean.\u00a0 But I have to forgive myself for my failings to move forward. If I\u2019m stuck in the past, I can\u2019t move ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus came to give you a new beginning.  In Him, you can find new life.  Each day is an opportunity to change and become a new creation in Christ.  Let the past go, embrace new life with Jesus.  Today is Day One.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord, thank You for giving us a clean slate every morning.  Thank You for a new life in Jesus.  Forgive us for not forgiving ourselves.  Help us today to accept the mercy You offer and to give ourselves a Day One.  Let us release the sins of yesterday, help us overcome them today as Your Spirit guides and directs us.  To You goes all the glory.  IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
