Whatever yesterday held, it does not get the final word over today. Maybe you went to bed carrying regret, grief, or a mistake you wish you could take back. But while you slept, God was not keeping score. He was preparing mercy.

His mercies are new every morning — not leftover, not rationed, not reserved for people who have it all together. Fresh mercy, measured out for exactly what today will hold, given by a Father whose love never runs dry and never gives up.

So before the day rushes in, pause and receive it. You do not have to earn this morning’s mercy. You only have to open your hands and your heart, and thank the One whose faithfulness carried you through the night.
