Dear friend, I'm so glad that you've come searching for the Lord's blessing today. His mercies are new every morning, and today we are going to learn of His new mercy and receive it. In Isaiah 43:1, the Lord declares, "I have summoned you by name; you are Mine." Yes, you are His. He has called you by name. So don't let guilt pull you away from Him. Don’t say, “I have done too much wrong.” Don’t believe the lie that your sin is too great. The Lord says you belong to Him, and He summons you, calling your name with love and grace.

This powerful verse tells us that He redeems us, and He calls us to Himself. We thank God that we will always belong to Him. That’s His grace, and that’s His love. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2:13, "Once you were far away from Christ, but by His blood, you are drawn near." What a promise! You are drawn close by the blood of Jesus. Paul knew this personally. He had persecuted the Lord’s people, caused suffering, and chased after those who believed. Yet even he was not beyond God’s mercy.

In spite of everything Paul had done, the Lord summoned him, gave him a new name, and said, “Paul, you are Mine.” By His blood, the Lord drew Paul to Himself, and Paul became a new person. From that moment, he ran after Jesus with all his heart. His life changed forever. That same transformation is offered to you today. My dear friend, no guilt is too great. No past is too dark. The Lord is calling you. He summons you by name, redeems you, and makes you new. Will you surrender to Him today?

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord, thank You for calling me by name and claiming me as Your own. Even when I have felt unworthy, You have reached out to me in love and drew me near to You through the blood of Jesus. Please wash away my guilt, silence every voice of shame, and help me to believe that I truly belong to You. Just as You transformed Paul, transform me, Lord, and make me new. Fill my life with Your purpose. Today, I surrender my past, my fears, and my failures to You. I receive Your new mercies, and I thank You for never letting me go. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
