Could you use a fresh start? I could.
Every. Single. Day.
It’s for this reason I snatched the mug below off the TJ Maxx shelf lickety split. Yes, my eye caught the contrast between the white matte finish and sleek cool gray interior but it was the wording that prompted me to peel out a few bucks and make it mine.

| Score! Thanks, TJ Maxx. |
The words Fresh Start immediately brings Lamentations 3:22,23 to mind. It’s a verse I mention often, maybe because I so desperately need it.
for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Obviously, the truth of receiving fresh mercy from a holy God each and every morning is reason enough to awaken with a grateful heart, but when I rewind to consider the motivation behind it all, I’m blown away by God’s faithfulness.
Thankfully, the “why” has nothing to do with me or you, our performance or lack thereof. It’s all God. His love motivates our rescue every single day. The only thing that consumes and covers us today is God’s compassion.
So, when the coffee perks and the coffee cup clinks tomorrow morning, let us remember Lamentations 3. Savor it, receive it, and walk in the freedom God offers us 24/7.
Staying in Step with the Spirit: A grateful heart never fails to move closer to the One of morning promises.
Heavenly Father, may the gratefulness pooling in our hearts spring forth into action today.
What does it mean to you personally to know that the moment you awoke this morning fresh mercy awaited?
