This post was written for Five Minute Friday.Word prompt--MERCY
Five minutes to free write about it.
This morning I was up early enough to see the sun rise, to witness the dawning of a new day full of possibilities. I felt as though I was being presented with a clean page to write on, a fresh chance to get things right. It was a magical moment filled with hope.
I thought of the Lord's mercies, which are new every morning, and of His unconditional love, and thanked Him for never giving up on me even when I would have long ago given up on myself.
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 ESV)
Beautiful words and photos.
ReplyDeleteEach new day is a new start. I also thought of lamentations. Beautiful. Fmf #2
ReplyDeleteOh these photos! Beautiful mercies. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reminder that God never gives up on us...even we have moments of wanting to give up on ourselves.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written and lovely pictures of the sunrise. Grateful for renewed mercies every day
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThe sunrise, clothed in splenour
is made more special yet
by the question, more that ever:
will I be here to see it set?
Contained within its beauties
is a message, sweeetly tasted;
neither leisure nor my duties
should be time, neglected, wasted
for the moment that's before me
will not come around again,
and its bright bejeweled majesty
can't be caught here, to remain,
flowing too quickly to the past
unless my love can make it last.
That's beautiful, Andrew. Thanks.
DeleteSo beautiful. But also a reminder of His faithfulness. What a beautiful morning to wake up to despite circumstances knowing He is the Light that can never be extinguished. God bless and strengthen you always.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rose.
DeleteThank you for these uplifting words today.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I need to be reminded that it's a new day, full of Love, Joy and Peace.... and His Mercies...

Beautiful! I love the early morning hours! #10
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and words. Reminds me of the song we sang in church today - "In the morning, when I rise, give me Jesus".
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my very favorite songs.
DeleteSandra, these are beautiful words and photos. And a song from the verse from Lamentations is drifting through my mind. Thank you for the reminder of God's faithfulness to us. Have a great weekend!
