Isaiah 43:16 and 18-19
This is what the Lord says, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
How often is it in our lives, that we really stop and take the time to do inventory and begin preparing for something new in our hearts ? New Year's is sometimes the only time for many people that this is done. But, what a joy and a blessing to know that every day, every moment is an opportunity for reflection and a chance to start anew !! God has given us the ultimate gift of renewal !! How awsome to know that no matter where we are, or what direction we are heading in our lives, He is there , patiently and lovingly waiting for us to put our trust in Him to make lasting, worthwhile change, not only in our lives , but the lives of others !
If you make any "resolutions" this New Year's Day, I pray that you will turn to Him and seek renewal and hope for a better year !!!
God Bless you all, and if I could, I'd hug each and every one of you !!!
