It's a new day-
My LORD's given me a fresh start;
It's a new day,
For though I may fall on the way,
He lifts me back up with His heart
And promises never to part-
It's a new day!
Author notes
Lamentations 3:22-23~ (King James Version)
(22)It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.
(23)They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.
I don't know if it was while I was still attending college, or even before that, but I was impressed by these verses when I was younger. There's a quote on one of the "Anne of Green Gables" movies that talks about our mornings being fresh, with no mistakes in them. Well, that's what God does for us every morning! We could totally mess up our day, and He continually wipes the sin-slate clean. It that's not forgiveness, I don't know what is!
