The same earth
spun around the same sun. The same moon
showed its glowing face. The same stars
glittered through the same sky and the same gravity caused billions of gallons
of water to spill up on the same sand across the same beaches.
We wake knowing time has marched on, our
hearts have beat on and the day waits.
Jeremiah writes
that we embrace the same steadfast love, the same love we had yesterday and the
one we will have tomorrow.
Likewise Gods
faithfulness irreconcilably, uncannily is offered as a gift for our unwrapping.
Yet one word, one gift, one treasure is penned as new. . . mercy.
His compassionate, life altering,
undeserved and abundant mercy is NEW.
His crazy wonderful reminder that whatever happened yesterday and the
day before and the year before that, He has handled.
And today as if
the slate has been wiped clean, is new.
We have a new start, a new task, a new extraordinary opportunity to
start again, to race after Him, to love and comfort and build and create. Hold on, buckle in, take part and be
inspired.
The steadfast love of
the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
