Mercy Has a Morning

“It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22 to 23 · KJV

Yesterday does not get the final word. That is one of the most freeing truths I know.

Maybe you blew it last week. Maybe you blew it last night. Maybe you have been starting Monday for years. Here is the good news: God's mercies are not rationed. They are new every single morning, which means every sunrise is an invitation to begin again.

I used to treat one bad meal as proof that I was a failure, so I would quit the whole plan. Grace taught me something different. You do not have to wait for next Monday, next month, or next year. Your restart can happen at breakfast.

Today, receive mercy instead of punishing yourself. People who feel forgiven make better choices than people who feel condemned.

A slip is a moment, not an identity.
