Here I am, standing at the doorstep of 2014.
I won’t lie to you, I’m ready to leave 2013 behind. I’ve learned and experienced a lot this year. Super mega highs and deepest valley lows. How my heart has been changed, and still, I’m ready for all things new.
fresh mercies. whole and untainted beginnings. full and brimming portions of His hope.
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[b]his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
2014 promises a calendar of 365 new mornings, overflowing with his love and faithfulness. And I am grateful for such a provision from His hand.
May the Lord be gracious to each of you and yours in the coming year.
