New Mercy 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 are still alive because the Lord’s faithful love never ends. Every morning He shows it in new ways! You are so very true and loyal! – (Lamentations 3:22-23, ERV)

How enduring is God’s loyal love; the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion. Here they are, every morning, new! Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day. – (Lamentations 3:22-23, VOICE)

 

Today, I am thankful that each morning God’s mercies are new, and we have a fresh start as the new day dawns. He is faithful and compassionate, and His love lifts us up and leads us to begin again. Sometimes, we need only be reminded that the day is new, to change our perspective when the week has been long and wearying. Incredibly, despite the crazy pace of the week, we have reached Thursday, with only one more full scheduled day after today. God is good, and He carries us with His strength and compassion when we grow weary, and renews us to begin again at the start of each new day. May we ever give thanks to the Lord for His loyal love and mercies that know no end.

 

Because God’s loving,

And makes mercy new;

Each day’s a fresh start,

As grace is renewed.

Boundless compassion,

Faithful all our days;

God’s love never ends,

Let us choose give praise.

Praise to the Father,

For mercies made new;

Praise for His goodness,

That’s forever true.

 

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that Your mercies are new every morning and that Your faithful love knows no end. Thank You that You meet us where we are, and love us with kindness and compassion that is unending. Forgive us for the times that we fail to embrace the new mercy that You grant us each day. Teach us to release yesterday into Your hands and to trust today and each day that is yet to come in Your strong, capable hands. Show us how to love those around us in a way that makes Your mercy, goodness and compassion evident to all. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we thank You and praise You for Your mercies that are new every morning. Amen.

For great is Your love, reaching to the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. – Psalm 57:10

 

Inexhaustibly Good

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. – (Lamentations 3:22, NLT)

How enduring is God’s loyal love; the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion. – (Lamentations 3:22, VOICE)

 

Unlike people, the Lord’s love knows no limits. He is faithful forever to pour out His mercy and grace, so that we might be drawn to seek His face. The Lord loves not because we are worthy, but because He is eternally and inexhaustibly good. May we seek our Savior so that the very same mercy and faithful love that we are given by God, might also flow from us to all those whom we encounter. Let His kindness and compassion be clearly reflected in our conduct each day.

 

Let the Lord’s light shine,

Wherever we go;

In all that we do,

So people may know.

The Lord, He is good,

His love never ends;

Forever endures,

And He calls us friends.

Compassion poured out,

For He sees each need;

Great merciful God,

Grants life as He leads.

 

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that Your faithful love never ends! Thank You that Your mercies are new every morning, and that they never cease. Thank You for Your inexhaustible compassion, though we don’t deserve it. Forgive us for our faithlessness and lack of compassion towards those around us. Teach us to trust You more, so that we would receive all that You offer, and operate out of the overflow of our hearts that have been filled by You. Show us how to love faithfully and compassionately, granting mercy to those who need it most. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we faithfully love others as we are loved by You. Amen.
