Tomorrow is the close of 2015. The year has flown and we now will have to get used to writing 2016 on everything.
As we begin a new year and chapter in our lives, we have the chance to start anew.
But this opportunity is not just because we are turning the page on a new year.
When God gives us hope and a future (Jer. 29:11), the hope is for redemption and the opportunity to begin each day with a clean slate. His mercies are new every morning and great is His faithfulness (Lam. 3:23).
Satan is the destroyer who would love to keep us trapped in the discouragement and guilt of our failures.
However, God is the Great Redeemer who pulls us out of the muck, providing us the hope to start anew. We have been born again and equipped with the Spirit to walk in newness of life.
It is never too late. And we never run out of chances to be washed by the blood of the Lamb, forgiven, and made new.
What a blessed hope to celebrate!
