New Mercies

Sunshine’s Reflections

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday to you all!  I pray that you have a blessed and productive day.

TFTD: New Mercies

1 Peter 1:3 (New International Version)

 ³Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

God has given us new mercies.  God shows compassion towards us every day.  He chooses to pardon our sins and not give us what we rightly deserve.  Sounds like new mercies.  There was something that you did or said yesterday that you should have been reprimanded or punished for, however God in His loving nature gave you another chance.  Sounds like new mercies.   

Sometimes we spend so much time dwelling on the past (and to those who do not realize; yesterday is the past) that we miss out on the blessings before us. God gave us new mercies. He didn’t have to wake us up this morning, clothed us or place us in our right mind, but He did. Why? Because He loves us.  He is a great God. 

New mercies are what God masters in.  And we have the audacity to sit around and sulk in the past.  I woke up this morning and said, “Past, get thee behind me”.  Lord, allow me to learn the lessons that I need to learn from yesterday.  Teach me to let go of my past.  I will no longer dwell in my past, but rejoice in my today.  I see new mercies.  New mercies are inside of me.

Lord thank you for the new mercies that you give me each and every day.  I will use the second chance you gave me to do much better today.  Thank you for new mercies!

Have a blessed day giving God praise for your new mercies.
