New Beginnings

About this time of year children and young people are returning from their summer holidays and facing a new academic year. Maybe they have finished school and are now on their way to university, college, apprenticeships or the world of work and this caused me to think about new beginnings.

Of course, at our church we have just completed building work to enhance our premises and be super-equipped to further its ongoing ministry. So in some ways it has a feeling of a new adventure, beginning with the joy of welcoming new people in and inspiring those who have been at church a longer time.

Every day has a new beginning as we welcome in a new morning and I like to see it as, not something to be fearful of, but rather as a new adventure, a new chapter in our lives. Every day we have the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Guide, the One who walks and talks with us.

Often we may have had rough times, times of difficulty or hurt, times of pain or suffering, but each day we face a new beginning and for the believer we don’t walk alone. How many times have we not invited the Lord to walk with us and the way seems bleak . There is a chorus which has the lines in it which say, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His Glory and Grace”. Please notice the writer didn’t say that suddenly life would become great, but they said that in the light of God’s presence other things take on a different perspective.

You may be facing new beginnings with a friendship or a new level or responsibility at work. You may even have a birthday and so facing the beginning of another year. Could it be you are getting baptised and so beginning a new path with God.

The good news is that Father God is unchanging, and as we face all sorts of new beginnings, He doesn’t change, and ‘His love for us is new every morning’. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

If you haven’t received Jesus as your Saviour and Friend, why not start a new beginning with Him right now?
