The seconds tick and time rolls forward..a new year begins..
A year which will be 'unlike' any other.
The page is clean..
The moments untouched..
Resolutions have been made...
Our feet are firmly planted in the hope of the unknown.
With every new year lies the chance to begin anew!!
I have a friend who has chosen to live this new year of her life in "truth" despite devastating circumstances that have left her broken.
She has chosen the road less traveled in the face of adversity!
A narrow path leading her away from betrayal and broken promises.
Setting determinedly, a course marked with freedom;
she is now on a journey that has always been meant for two.
she is now on a journey that has always been meant for two.
Indeed, she is in hot pursuit of the Holy One who amazingly abides securely at her side-ever so willing, to be part of the two.
She has chosen well, for His specialty is the unknown.
You see, she walks with the One who is already there.
Likewise, it will not matter if our own past is filled with hurt and betrayal.
It will not matter if we are able to keep every resolution..
It will not matter if we are able to keep every resolution..
What will matter...is that we continue...
on a journey marked with freedom.
on a journey marked with freedom.
It will matter, that we stay the course, when one by one our resolutions give way
to our humanity.
to our humanity.
It will matter, that we walk with the One
whose feet have walked through the unknown.
whose feet have walked through the unknown.
She may not yet understand "what" is planned.
But she can certainly cling to the truth that she knows
"Who" is in the planning...
And so can we...
Every single day of this new year is clean and untouched.
If you falter..for you surely will..
Remember this...there is an eternal difference between falling and rising.
If you choose to walk with Jesus, you may stumble and fall,
but you will surely rise again, for you too will have chosen wisely...
but you will surely rise again, for you too will have chosen wisely...
You won't have to wait a year, to begin yet again.
He, who plans your future will see your plans through...
If...you stay the course..
"See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.
Isaiah 42:9
