A new month. New beginnings - beautiful things that await us. There's always something refreshing for me as the calendar gets turned to start a new month. So many possibilities and opportunities. It reminds me of how Christ does this with us every single day. The previous is marked and scribbled upon taking away from the beauty of the picture above it. Sometimes it gets so heavy with marks with all of our stuff that it is almost unrecognizable and doesn't resemble what it once was. Toward the end it is barely hanging on just about to be torn from the last bit of what was holding it together.
Here's the beautiful part...that marked up stuff, the tattering...it doesn't last forever! The page gets turned - the old forgotten. We get new mercies every morning...a clean slate. And the best part is, we don't have to be the one holding on...it's Christ who has clasped Himself onto us anchoring us firm and secure in Him. How awesome is that? We can let Him write His Words of truth upon our days filling each one with exactly what we need according to His will. Allowing His beauty to be written so perfectly on our imperfect lives. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13. He's our anchor. He's our hope. He's our support. He's our merciful father who forgives and graciously allows us to have do-overs time and time again!
This is a great day, a great month, a great year to live for the greatness of God...for this is truly living a great life!!
Take care and be blessed,
