A new year makes me think of new beginnings. The move to a
new calendar feels like a fresh start—a blank page with all sorts of
possibilities. It’s easy to think now
is when everything can change.
Then as January progresses into February, the newness wears
of. The New Year’s resolutions are long forgotten and life feels the same as it
was.
Or have we just stopped looking for the newness in our
everyday?
New beginnings don’t depend on the change of the calendar
year. God gives us a new start every day.
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions (mercies) never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV (parentheses NLT)
Because of His love, a bad day or a bad
year won’t destroy us. We can start again. Over and over. He offers new
beginnings—but if we don’t have eyes open to see them, we will miss them.
Please join me at 5 Minutes for Faith to continue reading, where I'm talking about God's timing, His way, and new beginnings.
Happy New Year!
In Christ,
Laura
