5 Days From It's Still Possibleনমুনা

He Makes All Things New

Can you remember the last time you really felt excited about getting something new? Maybe as a kid you waited patiently for a new bike on your birthday. Maybe you just graduated, and life beckoned you to your first job or first apartment. It was amazing to have the whole world at your fingertips. The possibilities were endless! You were ready to create the adventure of a lifetime. What an exhilarating feeling! Do you remember?

By now, you’ve experienced more of life in all its fullness, embracing the ups with delight and weathering the downs with prayer and frustration and sadness. You may wonder whether you’ve missed the big adventure you once thought would happen. Maybe you feel that those days of innocent dreams have passed you by. What if the promise of a beautiful life simply isn’t true?

But let’s ask a different question: What if God has been saving some of the best adventures for this moment in time? What if, in His great love for you, He has faithfully and patiently waited for you to have enough life experience to be ready for what He has next?

The One who loves you and sees you right where you are makes things new for you every morning. He knows everything about you and wants you to remember what it’s like to try some-thing so new that it is a little bit scary. God doesn’t care about your age. He doesn’t assign limitations because you’ve blown out a few dozen birthday candles. He’s still working with one incredible human whom He designed for greatness . . . you!

As you begin today, remember that God makes all things new, and there are still possibilities up ahead. Remember the delight of anticipation, embrace the joy of changing obstacles into opportunities, and turn your face toward heaven. Let God know that you believe in all His possibilities, greater things than you’ve ever known before simply because of who He is!

You may find yourself embracing a whole new you.

Lord, help me believe that You have a great plan for my life, that Your compassion and Your mercies are new every morning. Help me anticipate the possibilities of all that can happen as I follow You. Let me trust You and believe with my whole heart that You are not done with me yet. Make my heart and mind new in You today. Amen.
