Father, thank you for a new day.  Amen!  Every day is a second chance to redeem time.  It is an opportunity to express the love of Christ to another; it is an opportunity to give grace to a stranger.  It is a new day to show patience and kindness; it is a second chance to show grace.  We must not allow the sins of our past to define us; we are to declare every day as a new day to follow our Lord and walk the way His example shows us.   

“Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:15-16 (NRSV)
