Happy New Year! This New Year was more eagerly anticipated that many prior. We are thankful for God carrying us through to a new year!
In order for one to fully enjoy newness is to let go of the old. We cannot be free to accept anything new or better until we have let go of the hurtful past. We cannot be renewed and refreshed until we surrender ourselves to Jesus.
God is wanting to do something new in your life, before He can do something new in your life, He needs to be able to do something new in you.
God wants to renew you - to restore a newness to you, your faith and all areas of your life. To renew means to give fresh life or to strengthen or to revive.
Our family has a tradition of purging items in our house during the beginning of a new year. This year I am not forgetting the spiritual cleaning in my life and our home.
I had some big hurts and disappointments in 2020, but I cannot let that overshadow my God’s faithfulness. Today, I choose not to dwell or hold on lot those hurts but to trust where God is leading me and our family. I know that God has always had a plan and there was a purpose for all that happened in 2020. I want to be free to receive the newness God has planned for me and my family!
I encourage you to let go of the past and do not let the past rob you of your future. God will make a way, when there seems to be no way! The newness of your faith, the restored joy & peace, the new job, the new home, the new or renewed relationship is coming, are you ready to receive?
“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 wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19
In Christ.
