A New Year

A new year is here, a clean slate, a new beginning. But have you ever stopped to consider that we actually get a new start every morning?

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

(Lamentations 3:22,23 NIV)

We don't have to wait for a new year to start over, to begin anew, to have a clean slate. We have every morning, a new day! The Lord is here every morning to begin anew with us. Compassion. What a great word.

Happy New Day to you all.
~Betsy

Great reminder. I love that song "Great is Thy Faithfulness." It has that idea about new mercies each morning. This concept is one of my favorites and gives me great comfort. Because I need SO MANY CHANCES to re-do and try again. :-) And He offers new mercies for that.

I would be in big trouble if God's mercies weren't new everyday. I'm thankful he allows us to try again, and to lean on Him each day.
