‘Behold I am making all things new’

The old things have happened and new opportunities lay ahead of us.

 

In the first few days and weeks we have so much ahead of us.

A chance to start afresh.

A chance to change our ways, our attitudes, our language, our outlook.

We have a chance to leave behind the things we did last year and take on new things.

 

Whenever Jesus met people, they always came away changed.

They became better people, they chose good ways to go, and they left behind the things that held them back.

 

Take a moment to think about what you will do differently this year.

Wonder about the things you want to try. Ask God to guide you in good ways that bring joy to you.

 

Heavenly Father,

Take away the fear of the new and the worry of what is to come.

Give us a bright hope and a future full of possibilities.

Guide us right ways that bind us to you and build up our community.

Remind us that you go with us wherever we go and in whatever we do.

Thank you Father for your gift of love that is Jesus.

Amen
