Dear Lord,
There's a reason the sun rises anew each day. Every day is a completely clean slate. It's hard to remember that I'm already forgiven when I'm cherry-picking bad memories and rolling them around in my head all day. Forgiven. Forever. For good. Somehow I seem to think I've got to make amends in perpetuity, that I need to keep re-living my mistakes till it blocks the blessings from coming in. But happiness is really just a habit. A decision to accept grace and embrace joy. Make me a work
in progress who actually acknowledges the progress I've made and the work we've done together.
❥Amen
