Day 220 A Fresh Start
2 Samuel 22:21-25 The Message (MSG)
God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him.When I cleaned up my act, He gave me a fresh start.
Who doesn’t need a “fresh start” from time to time. Sometimes it’s just to have a better attitude, but maybe it’s even to have a better life!
Everyone comes to a cross roads where we have a choice to make. For me it was at age 33 when I took a look at how I was living and knew that that was not going to work. I was so dissatisfied and frustrated. I was trying to move ahead but I just couldn’t. I was spinning my wheels in my frustration and making everyone around me miserable. On that day, I stopped to listen to myself and I knew I could not go on this way.
That’s when I turned to my face towards God and said, “If there is anything You can use of my life, You can have it.” Peace (the peace that I so longed for) rushed over my life that day. I was totally amazed that He found anything in my life that was worth saving.
He made each one of us and we are all precious to Him, so when we turn to Him, He is there for us with arms open wide.
When the scripture says “when I cleaned up my act…” You would think that means that we have to do things right in order to receive His “fresh start.” No, Jesus did everything right for us so all we have to do is turn towards God and say, “Here’s my life. I give it to You.”
If at some point in your life, you have done that, you know exactly what I am talking about. If you haven’t done that, you can. God is waiting for you!
And oh by the way, God is the author of “do-overs.” In fact out of His amazing love for you, He sent Jesus to the cross so you can have a fresh start---a “do-over!”
Today could be your day for your fresh start!!!
