>The Freshness of a New Day

At the turn of this year, God spoke to me about it being a new day, and that the way before me was like a snow covered field – everything fresh. Fresh snow means no old foot prints are seen. Not mine. Not someone elses. It’s a picture of a new beginning as the old is covered.

Sometimes as I am trying to move forward into a new day, it’s easy to look at the tracks where I or others have walked – maybe where someone has walked over me, or where I’ve stumbled and fell. But fresh snow covers old prints with a blanket of grace.

As I pondered on this picture I prayed, God, I don’t want to bring my past into my future. I don’t want the past to be the focus of my today. Let grace like snow cover the tracks of yesterday. Let my eyes see only the freshness of today with You.

I then thought about the relationships I am in and the need to let go of old hurts—the need to cover past imprints with love and forgiveness so that their voice no longer speak to me. And in doing so, I can move forward in fresh relationship for the new day.

I’m grateful for Father’s love that covers old tracks and makes grace like snow possible for a bright today.

Abba Father loves you.

Letting Go of the Past

The Father is calling us to look up, come up, and move forward into the radiant destiny He has for us. To move forward involves letting go of the past so we can move fully forward into His plans and purposes for us.

Increasing In Courage & Confidence

“God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.” – Chester W. Nimitz

Today, more than ever, the world is experiencing a great need for encouragement in the midst of fear and adversity. Our Father wants us to have courage and confidence in Him. These two qualities are important keys for succeeding in life and divine purpose.

The Builder Has Come

God’s plan for you has not stopped. The Father sent His Son, Jesus, as the great Builder and Constructor of the Father’s purposes in the Earth and with you!

I See You

It is a time to see the person on the street the way God sees them, and to see our brothers and sisters (natural and spiritual) the way God sees them, too, and value the gift of who God made them to be.
