Your mercies are new every morning

It is a new day, and a glorious one at that. The sun is shining brightly from a soft blue sky. Yesterday, with all it’s joys and sorrows, has faded away. Today is as an unopened gift, an unwritten page. What will we make of it?

It is easy to look back at Yesterday, see the pain, the heartache, and fears we faced, and pull some of those into our New Day. It is easy to look forward to Tomorrow, and worry for what we don’t know. It is so easy to carry from Yesterday it’s pain, and borrow from Tomorrow it’s unknown trouble. It is easy to destroy the joy of Today, but we don’t have to do it.

Yesterday is over. It’s sorrows are a thing of the past, and as far as possible, let’s leave them there, for we cannot change those things now. We cannot truly know what Tomorrow may bring, whether joy or sorrow. Worry is blind. It has no discernment.

Our life, Our today, is mostly what we choose to make it, and what we choose to see. True, there will be pain and heartache in life, and some of that may be a part of today. We can’t avoid these things, but we can make the best of

Today alone is ours. Yesterday is History’s. Tomorrow is in Christ’s hand.

Today, decide you will be happy, no matter the storm.

Today, find beauty and joy in the song of a bird, the face of a flower, the smile of a child.

Today, share the Love He gave you with someone else. It will come back to you.

Today, make the best out of the worst. You’ll find it wasn’t nearly as bad as you thought it was, looking back.

Today, lean on Him. He will guide you.

Today, rejoice in His blessings, no matter how very small they seem.

Today, look for beauty and joy, and you will find them both all around you.

Leave Yesterday as Yesterday. Let Tomorrow worry for it’s self, but Today– decide that it will be the most beautiful ever, and strive to make it that way.

    Just what I needed to hear Chantel. I am going through so much right now. God knew I needed to see this. I don’t even know why I wandered to this web-site. I haven’t been here in ages, but god works in mysterious ways!
