"But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope; The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3: 21-23
I have been thinking a lot about the New Year. Why is it that people are so drawn to this new beginning? As the calendar page turns, many embark with well-intentioned resolutions, refurbished dreams, renovated optimism, restored goals and renewed hope. This annual phenomenon just confirms to me that God-shaped hole in each of us that can only be filled by our one true hope, Jesus. I too love new beginnings, second chances, clean slates, fresh mercies. Thankfully, I don't have to wait to the turn of each year to find renewal and restoration. Every sunrise, every daybreak... His mercies are new every morning. And therefore I have hope.
