I’ve been through Lent more than 60 times. How about you?
- Been there, done that
- This story never grows old
Every year of life changes me. Every person is different. And God has a new message for every one of us, every year.
Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
Well, yes. Today new symptoms, new pain, and new compassion, both from my wife, and generated in my own heart for others.
I sure wouldn’t want anyone to be me, Doubly so today.
“The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning” (Lamentations 3:22-23). His compassions–not always the version we wished for, but always present, renewed daily.
