"The
steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they
are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
God is a God of new beginnings.
God is a God of new beginnings.
He is not refurbishing you…you were totaled.
You died with Christ and have been raised as a new creation, and each morning you start renewed.
You died with Christ and have been raised as a new creation, and each morning you start renewed.
When you accept the blood of Christ your sins are
not only forgiven, they are forgotten. The
old passes away, and there is no connection to the failures of the past. His
steadfast love insures that this is a never-ending process.
New Year’s resolutions often deal with what we plan
to do in the coming year, but this year let’s talk about what we are NOT going
to do… like continue to fight battles that have already been won, or carry
baggage that is no longer our responsibility. Let’s decide not to entertain guilt that has
been obliterated by the costliest redemption in all of history.
Then let’s resolve to pass this on to others by
forgiving the offenses they have inflicted on us.
Determine to give a new
beginning to anyone in your life who needs one. If the blood of Christ eliminates your sin,
shouldn’t it do the same for theirs?
Grant them forgiveness and you will be amazed at the
relief you experience by setting yourself free from all the accounting…the Cross means there is no longer any need to keep score.
He is a God of new beginnings.
So, start again.
“The
first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re not going to stay
where you are.” —J.P. Morgan
