A Prayer for the Month:
Dear Lord, THANK YOU for your new beginnings! In you I am a new creature, my sinful nature has died and all of my mistakes have been forgiven. Last year held hurts and regrets, but I know you make all things new. Create in me a clean heart and provide me the strength to embrace everything this new year holds. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
He’s Making All Things New
Have you ever looked at an old, worn-out piece of furniture and thought, Wow, this could look amazing with a little work?
That’s what God does with us—He doesn’t toss us aside when we’re worn down; He restores and renews us, making us better than we ever thought we could be.
In Revelation 21:5, God declares, “Behold, I am making all things new.”
This isn’t just a promise for the far-off future—it’s something He’s working on right now.
Whether it’s renewing our hearts, transforming our minds, or giving us a fresh start after a tough season, God’s newness is available to us every day.
Think about this: when we come to Christ, we’re not just “improved versions” of our old selves.
We’re completely new creations! 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
Isn’t that amazing? God takes our mistakes, our hurts, and even our brokenness, and He uses them as part of His beautiful work in our lives.
As we step into a new season—whether it’s a new year, a new chapter, or just a new day—let’s embrace this truth. God is constantly at work in us, shaping us to be more like Him.
It’s not about striving or being perfect; it’s about letting Him do what only He can do.
So today, take a deep breath and thank God for the fresh start He offers. Whatever you’re facing, big or small, trust that He’s at work, bringing new life and hope into your story.
You’re a masterpiece in the making!
