Early spring. Grass shoots up greener, trees begin to expand with buds, yellow daffodils emerge til heads are full blown, and new calves kick their heels and run with abandonment in the fields next door. Birds sing louder and the urge to bask in sunshine is strong. My part of earth is waking with newness and joy. The blissfulness of living with seasons, ever changing, giving new sights and sounds as each day is a new day. Thank you, Lord, for a new day!
New is invigorating. New is intoxicating. New is joyful and full of promise. New is what we want to share with others, relishing their delight in our good fortune.
New is what the Lord gives me every hour...a newness in soulful anticipation of purpose and belonging...new is God's grace! For the grace of God is righteous and He gives freely...even to me, the worst of sinners. Each moment spent reflecting on repentance and forgiveness points time and again to His grace. God's grace is love.
Time cannot be regained; opportunities missed cannot be duplicated. But each moment forward is new and hope is reborn...grace reigns.
Time cannot be regained; opportunities missed cannot be duplicated. But each moment forward is new and hope is reborn...grace reigns.
But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. (Romans 11:6)
