April 18, 2013 - Habitual Routine

New.....new behaviors. Some say that it takes 11-21 times of repetitive completion of a new task before it really becomes a habit. And yet God's mercy is new EVERY morning. Repetition? NOPE! Intentional love that we cannot describe. I need God's mercy new every day and not repetitive. I am a sinner in need of a savior. I still falter and sometimes get internally frustrated and want to comfort with extra............. But then in the morning, God allows me a FRESH start not because He HAS to, but because He WANTS to. His everyday mercy never becomes a habit. Habits can become mundane and void of intention but not God's mercy. I drink my 12 cups of water out of habitual routine. God displays His daily, FRESH mercy because He's the best stickin' Father a kid could ever have. Glad He picked me......and you! Smile as you ponder this today. Talk tomorrow, PK
