Begin Again for the Very First Time

There are moments when you know you are being asked to begin again. There are times when you know that after this day, nothing will remain the same.

There are times when God says that the gifts that we have brought Him no longer bring Him joy. There are times when God says, “I want you to walk closer to Me than you have before. I want more of you than you have been willing to give.” There are times when He says, “I cannot live without you. I want you to never want to live without Me.”

It is at these times that you realize you must begin again. The leaves of yesterday's dreams may crunch beneath your feet. Sadness may be in your gait because of the dreams that you are leaving behind. But springtime is just around the corner, and as the sap within the tree brings new life, so is life within you through God. You may hear the crunch of dried leaves, but God sees the beginning of a brand new season, a season of hope and faith and joy.

Are you ready to begin again with God? I am and hope that you will join me. I dedicate myself to share a few moments with you each day. These moments will be filled with honesty and hope, reflection and joy. I will share my faith in the One Who has never turned away from me.

This journey will not be easy, but good things never are. Nor will it be simple; living for God is never simple. But it will be worth it for God rewards those who seek Him.
