SOMETHING NEW

"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed,

Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning;"

~ Lamentations 3:22-23

ONE of the most talked-about things during Christmas is our "New" stuff. People love to show and tell of their gifts received at Christmas.

.

While the majority of us are bubbling with joy over all sorts of gifts, there are those who're burdened with sadness and stresses because they didn't receive something "new."

.

Many feel embarrassed, unfortunate, and even unloved, when they see the excitement of those whose families and friends have showered them with all sorts of tangible things.

.

Feeling left-out and alone can cause accelerated stress and strain.
.

It matters not how old or experienced we've grown, or how often we've dealt with the absence of other's affections. If we have not accepted the gift of God's great love, we'll stress-out every time.

.

Stress-survivors delight in the realization that God gives us good and perfect gifts every single day--not only on Christmas day, but all the days before and after.

.

Scripture teaches us that the Lord's mercies never cease coming to us; they are "NEW" every day.

.

We can rejoice and be happy, any and every day, because God's great mercies provide us with "SOMETHING NEW" to show-and-tell to all the world.

Peace I leave with you . . .
