As we turn the page on another year, we must face the uncertainty. Welcome to the end of the world and the beginning of something new.
We Can’t Go Back
We can’t go back, nor should we want to. For Jesus said, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. We need to be “forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead” (Phil 3:13). For God wants to “do a new thing” (Isa. 43:19).
Let Go of the Past
But we must let go of the past. Forgive and forget, or else we will never be free to go on with God. God wants to take you deeper, are you willing?
Every step we take is either moving us closer to God and His plan for our life, or we are taking a detour.
Embrace the Pain
Embrace the pain, the suffering. It is the only way to find freedom. I know it doesn’t make sense.
The way out is the way through. It’s the paradox of the spiritual world. What we resist, persists. What we fear we create. And the way to be strong is to be weak.
