Lamentations 3:22-23
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness!

Last night I was reminded that the world loves to celebrate darkness. We like to point out the flaws in those around us. We like to tear down those who aren't within our select "group." We focus our thoughts on what is going wrong in our lives far more than where we are blessed. Darkness seems to be something we relish in. But, there are those of us who are light bringers. People who have committed ourselves to bringing hope into the world. Those of us who rest on the promise of the Almighty that, no matter how dark the night, no matter how hard the problem, no matter how strong the attack, there is a new hope waiting for the world. Every morning we can claim this. Every morning we can have the strength to overcome. Every morning you are loved. It never stops. So, are you a hope bringer this morning or are you focused on the night? Will you pick up the blessing God has left for you this morning or will you lavish in the darkness? Don't give up. It's a new day!
