Today, is a great day to be alive.

Lamentations 3:22-23, tells us of his new mercies each morning. “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

Because of his new mercies toward me, and because he is so faithful, I am able to love better.

When you really understand just how awful we are, and how good God has been to us regardless, it is hard not to love. Yes, some people try the limits of our love on a daily basis! However, we we must push through their hatred and love.

Imagine God, who on his way to die for a sinful world just so they can be redeemed, was bombarded with hate. This hate was to the extreme. He was laughed at, spit upon, beaten beyond recognition. He was without sin, yet he said not one word. When he was on the cross he even asked God to forgive them, because they didn’t understand what they were doing.

He pushed through a level of hate we will never have to experience. He stayed the course and finished his mission.

Now consider yourself and the level of hate you face. It does not even compare!

This is called perspective!

With your new perspective, love your way through and complete your mission. You can do it. It is for this reason you were called. God gave you your credentials when he called you. You underscored them as your faith was tried and you made it to this point! As I said in the beginning – today is a great day to be alive!

Now brush off your love, put it front and center in your spirit and complete what God has given you to do!!

Have a blessed day!
