Wave Upon Wave

Sun, Sand, Surf.....

I just returned from a family beach vacation, and while there I noticed the waves would come further inland during the evening, and then return out again in the morning.  

When you walk on the beach in the morning after the water has receded you can see the sand in an uninterrupted state.  The ocean waves have become a nature eraser that has removed the evidence of yesterday's disturbances.  Yesterday's footprints and sandcastles are gone.  

Today's sand hasn't been walked on, sat on, or dug into, it's "new."  

God's love is just like this...His mercies are new everyday.  

Lamentations 3:22-23NLT

22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
    His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
    his mercies begin afresh each morning.

Just like the sand on the beach, we get a clean untainted slate every single day.  We don't wake up with yesterday's disturbances hanging over us as God points his disapproving finger at us.  

He IS our All Knowing God, so He isn't surprised by our actions.  He faithfully loves us in spite of them.  

Now, He doesn't want us to stay the same.  He wants to mold us to become more and more like Christ.  

Today and every day we get a "do-over."  So what are you going to do with it?  

I pray that wave upon wave, you and I allow his love to wash over us because His forgiveness is readily available.  

Ask for it, embrace it!

Now go step into and even squish your toes into the new sand of the brand new day.  

Love,
