¢¢ Because children have abounding

vitality, because they are in spirit
fierce and free, therefore they want
things repeated and unchanged. They
always say, "Do it again"; and the
grown-up person does it again until he
is nearly dead. For grown-up people
are not strong enough to exult in
monotony. But perhaps God is strong
enough to exult in monotony. It is
possible that God says every morning,
"Do it again" to the sun; and every
evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It
may not be automatic necessity that
makes all daisies alike; it may be that
God makes every daisy separately, but
has never got tired of making them. It
may be that He has the eternal
appetite of infancy; for we have sinned
and grown old, and our Father is
younger than we.

G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

22 Because of the Lorp’s great love we are not consumed,

for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
