Brand New Mercies-Day 18

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  Lamentations 3:22-23

Hello again to all those that are hanging with me.  I have not written in a week but I have not given up.  I had my foot surgery and am feeling much better now.  I have been sleeping the days and nights away this past week recovering.  My abilities with my foot are growing more and more daily.  I am now exercising/stretching it, which is painful, but benefiting greatly. I will soon be able to exercise my whole body.

God has been so good and merciful throughout the process and throughout my life.  It is this mercy that is never ending that will take us all through whatever challenge(s) we face.  This is not a mercy to be taken for granted but to help us in realizing that God loves us and is there waiting with open arms whenever we are ready to turn from our wrong ways, repent and draw near to Him. 

Let me make this plain to you.  There is no big sin and little sin.  Sin is sin in God's eyes though we of the world try and make the obvious sins into such a big deal.  The numerous occasions of overeating that I have done in my lifetime, is it sin? It is when we allow it to become our god.  When we do it and do not use moderation as we should which causes us to neglect our bodies, which are in fact our temples. I read a great article that is beneficial for anyone questioning excess in their lives. It is filled with scripture and I encourage you to please go read it.  (http://www.bible.com/bibleanswers_result.php?id=165  )

As I have given this other reading to you, I will end what I have to say for today.  Be encouraged and don't give up my friends for you have brand new mercies every day and great is the LORD's faithfulness!  God's Blessings.
