| Another winter passes and with it,
the vestiges of all things drab.
Spring is in the air and with it...
the initiation of a new beginning.
The sights and sounds of Spring are everywhere!
Even smiles appear spontaneously on once forlorn faces.
It is the time of new beginnings.
No where is this more evident
than in the lives of those who...
with uplifted hands call on the name of Jesus.
The bible refers to Him as,
"the name that is above every name".
There is a beauty and symmetry in God's divine plan.
Far too often, I've looked at the end,
the results, and the final outcome.
I rush through life without really being aware...
of a divine work in me.
There is something special with all things new:
that new car smell.
that newly decorated room.
that fulfillment of receiving your education diploma.
that excitement of a new job.
that appreciation for a new bride or groom.
that gratitude for the addition of a newborn into one's family.
that hope of fulfilling one's purpose in a new journey.
It is the time of new beginnings.
Yes, there is something wonderful and...
special about new beginnings.
New beginnings transcend across my emotions...
soul...
body...
spirit.
I feel it, think it, and believe it.
God gave new this quality.
It is the quality to touch...
the very depths of who I am.
I hope you're experiencing newness.
I hope God is breathing new life...
in facets of my life which were dormant.
Dormant from the harshness of disappointment...
frustration...
loss, and...
discouragement.
Hope that is seen is not hope...
I have no need to hope for what I have.
I hope for what is coming.
New beginnings are coming, and I hope I am
not only ready
but appreciative
of the process God chose to use in me.
A custom-made process..
tailored by God specifically for me.
A custom-made suit is nice...
but eventually will become tattered.
God's plan for me does not tatter or wear out;
it remains fresh, new every morning.
It is the time of new beginnings. |
