Spring signifies a new beginning...

Did you know that there is one thing that we all MUST do in life?  Yes, we all must.  There must be a time when you answer the question, "Will I begin again?"  By that I mean letting go of your present life and past, putting it all behind and  making a fresh new life with Christ. 

We all have past mistakes, past heartache and past failures in life.  But one of the worst decisions in life, is to hold on to the past and this present life, and reject the new life and new beginning that Jesus can give. 

There is SO much promise and contentment that only a new beginning with Christ can offer.  Let me tell you what lies in store for you when you accept a new beginning. 
Please, spend a few minutes with me...

Remember ye not the former things, neither regard the things of old.  Isaiah 43:18-19

What must I do to "begin again" in Christ? 

1. Forget the past. It is over. Nothing can change it but you can change what lies ahead.   Philippians 3:13-14 reminds us "...but one thing I do: I forget that which is behind, and endeavor myself unto that which is before; And follow hard toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.​

1. Accept this new beginning as a gift of love from God to you.  He only waits for you to accept. 
2. Place your Faith and Trust in Him.  He created the heavens and the earth, do we really think He cannot guide is on the path He has planned for us?
3. His plan not mine. On this new path you are beginning, remember it is His path not yours.
4. Be content.   This life is temporary.  We have an eternal home and blessing beyond imagination awaiting us.  Be content with whatever this life brings.  I live for Him, no longer for me. 

You are not alone.  There are genuine Christians who are also on His path.  Their path is different than yours.  Look at it this way. Christ is in the driver's seat and you are in the passenger seat.  When He stops the car, and tells you to get out and talk to people about Him, or to walk awhile and take some rocky paths, it is because He intends for you to meet someone who needs "to hear the Gospel of Salvation." 
Just be obedient.  He is in control.
Be blessed.  Be content. Be confident. Be assured.  Blessings to you on your new beginning,
