A New Day,
A New Year,
Same Mercy and Grace
Sustain Us.
Jeremiah 31:20
Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he the child I delight in? As often as I speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore I am deeply moved for him; I will surely have mercy on him, Says the Lord.
Ephesians 2:4-5
But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Words of Grace For Today
New Year’s Resolutions are already being broken around the world. Old sins have accumulated and weighed people down to the point they see no other way ahead than to sin more and more as if digging themselves out of it all, when they actually are digging themselves deeper and deeper into the excrement of sins from generations upon generations.
And how does God deal with this, yet again?
God points out our sins!
And
God is merciful and gracious: God forgives us and frees us from the burdens of broken resolutions and accumulations of sins and sins’ excrementations.
And
God delights in us, as we move forward, not free from sin, but able to be saints in this chaos of life on this precious planet.
And
God adopts us as God’s own children, blesses us beyond our wildest imaginations, and sends us out
to share this mercy and grace with all other people.
Another day beginning another year, come what may, God is ready to walk with us through it all.
