New things are awesome, aren’t they? Who doesn’t love an out-of-the-box pair of shoes? Maybe you crave the comfort found when the sunrise marks a new day. Puppies: tiny, squirmy and oh-so cuddly. Say no more!
Newness can also mean fresh starts, and that’s what we find in Jesus. The despair of yesterday, long-held grudges and memories of bad decisions that plague your thoughts at night: You don’t have to carry those any longer. There is renewal in the One who took on your sorrow and pain as the ultimate demonstration of love.
Do you hear a small voice growing louder by the day that’s calling your name? Do you feel the nudge to pursue something greater than yourself? Friend, that’s God, and He wants nothing more than to restore you. When you put your faith in our Heavenly Father, the innermost parts of your heavy heart and soul won’t just be repaired, they’ll be renewed in Jesus. The old will be gone. The new you will be here to stay.
He changes us, breathes life into us and renews us from the inside out. No amount of new shoes, sweet sunrises or––sorry––puppy snuggles can fill that space. Nothing you chase will ever permanently fill the gaps in your life. That new you you’re seeking is just a Savior away. A fresh start like no other.
