“The Lord’s love never ends; his mercies never stop. They are new every morning. Lamentations 3:22-23”
You said the wrong words, took the wrong turns, loved the wrong person, reacted the wrong way.
You spoke when you should’ve listened, judged when you should’ve trusted, indulged when you should have resisted.
But don’t let yesterday’s mistakes sabotage today’s attitude!
So, what makes the difference?
Daily drenching rains! Deluges keep the ground moist, the trees wet, and the lightning impotent.
Lightning strikes you as well. Thunderbolts of regret can ignite and consume you. Counter them with downpours of God’s grace, daily washings of forgiveness.
Once a year won’t do. Once a month is insufficient. Weekly showers leave you dry. Sporadic misting leaves you combustible! You need a solid soaking every day!
Choose to make it a great day—every day!

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13"
If you ever see a man walking on the side of the road carrying an empty gas can—give him some respect. He’s dying inside! Women see the empty gas tank as an inconvenience. Men see it as the ultimate failure. Our first set of keys was handed to us with these words: “Make sure you buy some gas.”
Back in the day when I took my girls to school, I looked down to see the gas needle resting on—empty!
I stared at the gauge, hoping it would move. Didn’t work. Denying the problem was my next approach. The car didn’t budge.
You’re going to run out of gas—we all do. Remember the God who’s able to keep you from falling, to help you when tested, and to bring you into great joy in His glorious presence!
Make it a day changer!
