How are you feeling today? Do you feel light, free and full of joy? Or are you feeling burdened by yesterday’s choices?
Whatever happened yesterday, you are forgiven today. Receive the truth that you are not your past. God’s mercies are new each morning(Lamentations 3:22-23). Take what is rightfully yours: Forgiveness through faith in Jesus.
My prayer is that you will lay down whatever you are carrying at the foot of the cross. Focus on this verse and accept this truth. It’s yours to keep.
For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west.
The Lord is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him., Psalm 103:11-13(NLT).
If you have time, enjoy this song by Casting Crowns, East to West.

Praise YOU Father God. Thank You for Your free gift of Jesus as my savior. Thank You for the reminder LORD that we find peace, rest, hope and all YOUR characteristics when we seek You. In Jesus' name, amen.
What an awesome blessing! To know that yesterday is GONE!! His mercies are new every morning!
Love you girl!
Love that picture!!! Amazing! And I love that verse in Lamentations. Enjoyed your post today. Thanks!
Wonderful video, Tiffany, and verses that mean so much…His mercies ARE NEW EVERY MORNING! That means more than we even realize…yesterday's failures, hurts, worries are no more, and today is a new day with the Lord…a fresh start. I've even been using this vers to help my granddaughter take the cares of unfinished school projects or homework off of her shoulders before going to sleep. Even children carry those burdens with them into the next day…they need to know how to release them to the Lord, to know that they have a new beginning in the morning…and He is always there with them…and us!
God bless,
Mary
Sometimes this is a hard thing for me to learn. I know God forgives yet I have a hard time forgiving myself and moving on. Thankful for God's mercies that is for sure.
Bless you for the encouragement, love you.
Blessings to you Tiffany, I just stopped by to say hi and love your post-no surprise as I always love your posts. I pray this finds you well and enjoying nice weather than a few weeks ago.
Hugs, Noreen
One of my favorite psalms, and songs. Good post.
Amen…beautiful encouragement…and a needful reminder….
Thank you so much for the reminder…that the price has been paid "in full." Jesus is truly all we need!
With joy,
Cherie
I absolutely love this song!! What a great reminder that God's love has provided a way for His forgiving nature to be righteous in relation to our sinful nature. He doesn't just look past our sin! He has removed it and sent it as far away as infinity, (how far is the east from the west?) never to be remembered again! It is this mercy and goodness that brings us to a place of recognizing how much He loves us and moves our heart to love Him in return.
Tiffany, I love that I've had the pleasure of meeting you. That way, when I read your posts, I can hear your sweet voice in my head. Thank you for that post. There are so many days that I need to be reminded of that, I have a tendancy to beat myself up, or ask forgiveness over and over for things that God has long forgotten. He is so gracious, sometimes it's hard to accept.
Blessings my friend,
Kathy
