When I was a little girl I loved to play kickball. I was no star kickball player, but I loved the game. I try to forget the times I missed making contact with the ball. Even with my leg in the air and my foot in position to kick… I would completely miss the ball! I remember my teammates, along with me, yelling to the top of our lungs “DO OVER!” It felt so good to get another “do over.” I’m so encouraged that the Bible is filled with people who were given do overs. My hope is that you too will be encouraged knowing that you can move forward in this new year knowing that God’s mercy is new everyday. His faithful love willingly gives you a new beginning.
The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.
Lamentations 3:22-23
