Fresh Beginning
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The beginning is such a good place to be, my darling. There is much in store. But there is acknowledgment of what came before the beginning to mark this moment as a beginning. And in that place I was there, too. But let’s start where beginning is—the union of Me and you, the awakening of your heart, bit by bit, to Me.
I awaken you further, now.
These first starts are for you to appreciate the moments that came before them—to see where I was, what I was doing, before you recognized my presence. Let Me take you back to where I was when you couldn’t see Me there. Perhaps the definitions of beginning will need to be rewritten.
I always begin again in you, child.
I am the discovery of the beginning—all hope and life in you. I will give you a fresh start this day. I give you new breath, new eyes, new adventures to set out on with Me. But I want to start this beginning by going back to where I’ve always been with you.
I have always been with you, child, even when you couldn’t see it. I want to show you now.

The journey God has planned for our lives rarely matches our own expectations. We might think we’re headed firmly in one direction when He suddenly whisks us off into another—something so different and, almost certainly, so much harder. But there’s great beauty in these divine interruptions. And as Will Parker Anderson points out in this well-written article, “calling is rarely a straight, predictable line. It’s a zig-zag, my friends.” How have you experienced this in your own life? Hit reply and let me know.
