Stop Eating Off Yesterday's Grill

A couple of weeks ago I had an awesome Birthday treat to one my favourite delicacies: KOREAN BBQ! And looked something like this:

*drool*

The food was (as usual) awesome! But the one thing in that Korean BBQ restaurant that stood out was the service. We were waited on hand and foot. Side dishes and drinks were refilled like clockwork, all our dishes were grilled for us to perfection and even our grill was replaced with every new dish! One of my friends was impressed and asked why they did that and so I answered without thinking, "It's because they don't want the bitter taste of the burnt meat on the next dish."

Does that sound familiar to any of you? Well it didn't really to me at first too but then it hit me. God just reminded of His great love!

"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." - Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)

God's love for us is new every morning! How awesome is that? Just like the way a fresh grill lets us enjoy our BBQ, God wants you to enjoy everyday without the bitter taste of guilt from yesterday's sins! Yesterday's sins are yesterday's news. Today you have a fresh portion of God's abundant love to encourage, to comfort and to compel you. So stop eating off yesterday's grill!

Maybe you weren't the best person you could be yesterday. It's alright. Your Dad still loves you. As a matter of fact, He falls in love with you all over again every morning.

So come on! It's a brand new day with a brand new love! The bible says, "Taste and see that the Lord is good!" (Psalms 34:8). Mmm.. the love of God sure tastes like fresh Korean BBQ (but a billion times better!). ;)

GOD LOVES YOU
