A few mornings ago, I was sitting on the couch, praying and spending time in the word. I looked over at the carpet and there was a pile of white stuffing out of one of Gracie’s toys. She loves to pull the stuffing out of every toy in order to get to the squeaker. I really paid little attention to that mess until my husband walked into the room. He was annoyed and said, “I just vacuumed the carpet last night and now there is another mess.” (He hates the stuffing out of toys.) As soon as he said it, I responded without thought, “God’s mercies are new every morning.” It was a light bulb moment. Then I smiled as I got it.
Every day I make a mess, but because God loves me and “His compassions never fail, and they are new every morning”, (Lam.3:22-23) He cleans up my mess.
Thank you Lord that you are patient with me and you still are willing to clean up my messes.
Walking by faith,
