“[He] who sits on the throne said,
‘Behold, I am making all
things new.’” (Revelation 21:5).
Like myself, Annie, have
your been involved in behaviours that have left you feeling worse about
yourself, not better? If so, today is
the perfect day to start putting God first in your life. “Mistakes offer the possibility for
redemption and a new start in God’s kingdom,” explain Barbara Johnson, “No matter what you’re guilty of, God can
restore your innocence.”
Each new day offers
countless opportunities to serve God, to seek His will, and to obey His
teachings – to repent of our sins and to return to Him. We need a housecleaning
of the heart. But each day also offers countless opportunities to stray from
God’s commandments and to wander far from His path. Sometimes, we make a mess
of things, but God has better plans for us. And, whenever we ask Him to renew
our strength and guide our steps, He does so.
“All the power of God – the same power that hung the stars in place and
put the planets in their courses and transformed Earth – now resides in you to
energize and strengthen you to become the person God created you to be,”
write Anne Graham Lotz. So, if you’ve made mistakes in the past, and if you
want to make amends, consider this day a new beginning. Consider it a fresh
start, a renewed opportunity to serve your Creator, Lord Jesus Christ with
willing hands and a loving heart. Ask Jesus to renew your sense of purpose as
He guides your steps. Today is a
glorious opportunity to serve God. Seize that opportunity while you can;
tomorrow may indeed be too late.
Annie, God is in business of making all things new…
including you.
THINK BIG.
START SMALL. GO DEEP.
