New Beginning
New year, new beginning…
The past year for me has been full of lows more than highs- and all because of my own doing. I’ve invited negative thoughts, made the wrong choices and decisions, done and said terrible things…and in the process I made my life miserable. Or so I thought.
But throughout my journey, one thing was always certain: God has proven His faithfulness time and again. He has His own way of making things right in His own perfect time. He foreknew His plans and perfect will for me, and in His patience has made it known to me through my circumstances, though most of the time I tend to resist His discipline and pruning. I admit that I truly am a stubborn child, but being the patient Father that He is, He stood by me through it all.
And though I may feel miserable about my life, He often tells me that I am loved with an unconditional love; I am special to Him, and He will not allow any harm to come my way. He will be faithful- no matter what.
And so as another year begins, so am I beginning on a clean slate. I have this hopeful and expectant heart waiting for God to reveal Himself to me more and more. I want to become the kind of person he intended for me to be and live the life he predestined for me to live.
I thank God for new beginnings.
