{{ 10 }} New Every A.M.

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.
Lamentations 3: 22-23
The sky was beautiful as Jansen's birthday dawned. It was a gift....just like his mercies that are new every morning.
As I read this verse I wonder if we pause long enough to think about being consumed. Are we consumed with things of this world or with things eternal? What does the word mean to you? We're left here on Earth for a reason...not instantly consumed and turned to a vapor.Seriously, that's what our fate should be. Instead, we are given Compassions that fail not....and His Great love.
When I think of the word "consume" I think of combustion; something igniting and bursting. Isn't that what we should be like with Jesus? Our hearts ignite with His love, grace, faithfulness, mercy. We can't hold it in... Every morning we begin anew.
