Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV): "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness."

The Word calls God a consuming fire. Everything that holds us back from living in the freedom of God's love, peace, and abundant life is like dead wood that His Fire in us must consume. Things like un-forgiveness, sinful habits, and harmful attitudes, only prevent us from moving forward in the life Jesus died for us to have. If you know there are some loose ends in your life that you have not completely surrendered to the Lord, you can do that today. As you commit your thoughts, your attitudes, and your speech to His Lordship, and surrender to His Holy Spirit; He will burn away those things that prevent you from walking in the fullness of His blessing. Because of His love for you, you can see every day as an opportunity to wake up to a fresh start in Him; where you purposefully give the Holy Spirit the authority to lead every decision with His wisdom and power. You can rely on His faithfulness, mercy and compassion to help you live free of your old nature and full of His new life - one day at a time.
