Are His Mercies New Every Morning?

 Are his mercies new every morning?i think this article is a testament of the title itself because me writing and coming back is a testament of his mercies...how have you been?it's been a while two months I guess since I last posted. I didn't think I would write till Saturday morning when talking to God.I felt this conviction in my heart he reminded me I had neglected what he had told me to do I had put aside what he had commissioned me and before I hadn't seen it that way,I have so many incomplete articles that I struggled writing...it didn't flow naturally my mind was struggling to come up with words and it felt like I was doing it relying on my flesh so I stopped and said to myself I would do it only when I felt the hand of God and his spirit leading me... days turned to weeks weeks to months,it disturbed me I wasn't writing and mind you I was still flowing in my personal notes I think I write almost everyday even in a matatu😂yet when it came to writing something I wanted to share words left me I was frustrated because I love writing articles and sharing them with you I love telling people about God hoping one person would dare to give him a chance i prayed to God telling him to help me do this.

The thing I didn't realise then that God showed me today and led me to repentance is I had fallen into the comfort of not walking in the unknown writing articles made me vulnerable and since I was not comfortable doing that I comforted myself by not doing it at all by hiding...doing this required faith and complete trust in him it required my eyes to be fixed on him and believe that even when I don't know what to say he will give me the words because he is the one who commissioned me to do this he gave me this gift to glorify and bear witness to him he knew I couldn't do this alone if I could then he wouldn't have called me because he chooses the willing not the qualified my mind was his,he just wanted me in a place of complete surrender to abide in him and believe that he is the vine and I am the branch and apart from him I could do nothing.

I knew being open and vulnerable is a weakness to you but it's in your weakness my strength is made perfect it's your weakness I desire to reveal my glory when you walk side by side with me and surrender I give you the words to speak and write in me you will find everything you need to do what I called you to do for those I foreknew I predestined those I predestined I called those I called I justified those I justified I glorified I knew and predestined you before I formed you in your mother's womb and I gave you a spirit of sonship not slavery to fall back into fear.

When I felt convicted by the spirit to repent I told God why I did this yet the more I came up with the excuses the more he answered them with the truth and revealed to me what I was really doing and I knew it was true I ended up saying he knew my thoughts and intentions of my heart he knew why I did it because I didnt want to step out of the unknown again I didn't seek him I wanted him to come to me yet he was there with me all he wanted was for me to abide in him to stay there with him to invite him in my emptiness and let his spirit fill me yet I ran and hid and today he told me I had neglected what he had given me what he had commissioned me to do.. he reminded me of the seventy disciples whom he called and sent out telling them to carry nothing no purse or sandals or food and clothes  preaching his word and doing what he commanded them to do. He told them he was sending them like sheep amongst wolves and they would eat and sleep wherever they are welcomed. They obeyed and did it out of faith and complete trust that he would provide everything they needed he reminded me of Abraham when he told him to move from a place he called home to a promise land which was unknown to him he just obeyed..in my walk with him my faith and devotion to Christ will be continuously tested through walking in the unknown and choosing to have my eyes set on him even in the wilderness. That is the cost of discipleship.

This stuck in my heart especially the seventy disciples. In our walk with Christ we will stumble and fall but because we serve a merciful high priest we need to draw confidently to the throne of grace to seek mercies in time of need. Repentance helps us draw closer to him because our hearts are opened to see where we fell and why...we need him to live a life that is pleasing in his eyes,to fulfill the perfect will of God in our lives.I started this article by saying what your reading is a testament that his mercies are new every morning because he could have left me in my ignorance this thing would have been history he could chose another person who is more willing more excited more qualified to do this yet he pursued me, stuck with me,my ruggedy self...forgave me and lifted me up.I promise you after praying I wanted to go and watch a movie thinking I would write the article later but God the one who knows our thoughts and our heart's intentions told me no we are going straight there...we are writing this article now.. I thought my hand was tired because I was just from writing yet here we are bearing witness that his strength is always made perfect that I do this because he enables me to do it because he gives me the grace and covers me with his glory. We serve a God who knows us who wants to use us in mighty ways just imagine how David killed Goliath if you need further proof and his mercies are new every morning his love endures forever great is thy faithfulness!

David always praised even when he thought his enemies were after him he praised God not that his life was perfect he went through suffering but I say to you let us rejoice even in suffering because we are one with Christ provided we suffer with him that we may be glorified with him. God wants to reveal his glory in a mighty way through us and I know we live in a world where suffering is looked down upon but I say again rejoice even in suffering because it's suffering that makes us one with Jesus Christ he suffered was tempted yet without sin he came into this world not to take suffering away but to be with us and be our saviour in the suffering and because he defeated death on the cross victory is ours at the end of the day...just like he carried his cross and was nailed to death for our sake  so should we as children of God,that the same glory he shares with his father  may be revealed to us...oh please read Hebrews chapter 2 and Romans chapter 8 so powerful and eye opening.

I say this to say don't look at suffering as suffering but as glory look at God tell him to teach you what suffering entails for the children of God why John talks about patient endurance and faith for the saints why Jesus calls us his brethren. Paul says in Romans 8 the present suffering are not worth compared to the glory that is to be revealed to us.We learn the word of God through God he wrote is for us and I tell you that book changes my life every single day it's the best book I've ever laid my eyes on and if you seek him you will find him he is so close to you so close that his breathe is what keeps you alive,the breathe of life.

There is a purpose for you and he wants to use you just the way he created you...he will meet you exactly where you are and guide your path to him.. God cares so much about us before the conviction he had called me to him for a set of days and now when it's almost over he has sent me forth again to do something I loved but neglected. God cares about your heart and your insides more than what you do,he wants us to see for ourselves that truly apart from him we are nothing and when we know he is everything we can give him anything whatever he is telling you to do,surrender or give baby lay it on his feet say yes to him today as a matter of fact right now am back to tell you his mercies are new every morning and that's what has brought us back together.

Can I tell you before I end this article the power of prayer and community.. let's keep each other in prayer. Pray for me as I pray for you let's build a community of believers who love Christ and each other. Prayer unites people when we pray for each other God honours the words we speak let's pray for our families our community society and the world at large...we need God and I can't walk alone I would be a fool to think so.  I love you but my love cannot be compared to God's love. Peace
