The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.

- Lamentations 3:22-23

Did you know that God is for you? He is! The Bible is chock-full of God’s promises to you. We are told in these verses in Lamentations that God’s love never ceases. Can you imagine that? It never stops. His mercies for you never come to an end. They are new every single morning.

So today, when you woke up and felt weighed down by past sins, or mistakes, God was ready and waiting to renew your spirit.

In light of your disobedience, He offers forgiveness and sets you on a new path. He loves you and desires good for you. He wants your trust.

Today as you reflect on the state of your heart and mind, where do you find yourself? Do you need to ask God to forgive you? Do you need His direction for a specific problem or burden? Trust Him today, yield to His Word. You will find Him waiting with open arms.

With Love,

Message from Kara

One of my favorite things about this passage is the reminder that every morning is a fresh beginning with God. No matter how difficult yesterday may have been, His mercy is already waiting for us today.

There have been so many mornings when I've opened my journal with a heavy heart, only to leave with a renewed sense of peace because God faithfully met me there. Looking back through those pages has become one of the sweetest reminders that His grace truly is sufficient.

I pray today's devotional encourages you to begin today with hope, knowing His faithfulness never runs out.
