It is a new year! Yet some people are already treating it like the old. They find it so hard to shake off the past. They can scarcely hope in new beginnings. They feel they have gone too far, fallen too low, sunk too deep.
For others, they didn't plan to start off the new year badly. But towards the end of 2011 they experienced some type of loss-the illness or death of loved ones, financial failure, divorce, separation, estrangement, unemployment, or some devastating news.
My prayer for you, whoever you are, is that you will try the God of new beginnings. Truly His grace is sufficient, whatever ails you! But you cannot experience it unless you give over the controls of your life to Him. Simply ask Him to take over, to lead, to guide. He truly knows what is best for your life!
There is nothing in your life that is too complicated for Him to handle, or to fix. You see, you can never catch Him by surprise, for when He sent His only begotten Son 'Jesus' and Jesus laid down His life for your sins, He saw all your possible 'circumstances', but chose to die anyway! He died so that you might live! He died so that you could have eternal life-and that includes joy and peace forevermore!
It does not matter how messed up you are, or how lost you feel-He can restore you, if you are willing. Do not delay any longer! Come Home! Taste and see that the Lord is good!

Life can be beautiful. There is no need for shadows, or despair. Like a new born baby, you have to experience life anew. See life from a different perspective. Be invigorated, revived, renewed. Be blessed!
