I am grateful that His mercies are new every morning. This means my day begins as full of opportunity as the empty document on which I am
typing. As the sun rises, my story can take off and go anywhere!
Today does not have to be “Chapter 2” to that which began
yesterday or even twenty years ago. Today can always be “Chapter 1”.
Think about the story of the Jesus' arrest, abandonment by his friends, and his ultimate crucifixion. That
was a story full of disappointment, fear and defeat.
The story of Good Friday is vastly different from that of the
wonder, hope, and victory of the incredible Resurrection morning. The stories are so different, in fact, one might wonder how they can both be pieces
of the same narrative.
I am thankful this week to be reminded of how good God is at
surprise endings. He is the King of the transformational turn-around.
No matter what our current story-line is, may we embrace and
take comfort in the fact that the next chapter God is writing for us may be so
different from the narrative we were expecting that we barely even recognize it
as our own.
