I don't pretend to know everything about music and all of its conservatories, but I know that I do like music and when "Brand New Day" played on my Pandora I fell in love. I don't even listen to must of the lyrics, but the chorus...sometimes it feels like its the theme of my day.
"This cycle never endsYou gotta fall in order to mend
And it's a brand new dayIt's a brand new dayFor the first time In such a long long timeI knowI'll be ok"
I will not pretend that life has been all grand and wonderful. I will not pretend that I have handled every situation perfectly. I will not pretend that I jump out of bed feeling eager to face the day. I will not pretend that I am the perfect worker, friend, daughter, sister, etc etc....
because there is no pretending in God's eyes.
He knows all of my faults. He knows why I cry myself to sleep, because of the pain I've caused myself. He knows the words I don't say, but think just the same...and shouldn't it. He knows when I have the wrong motives and wrong desires.
There is no pretending. He knows that I'm not okay and that I should have known better, but He still gives grace.
Grace that turns not being okay into being okay. Grace that overlooks the bad day and gives you the strength to move onto a fresh new day. Because of God's grace I know those not okay times are for a reason and some day it will be okay.
