New Beginnings

Dear child, as another year comes to an end, it's time to look at what you need

to leave behind or what you need to take into another year.

Leave behind all regrets. Take into the new year fresh hope.

Leave behind unforgiveness.

Take with you grace.

Leave behind fear. Take with you faith.

Leave behind worry.

Take with you peace.

Leave behind heaviness.

Take with you joy.

This new year will provide you with new opportunities and so many possibilities.

So leave behind timidity and take with you boldness.

Take my light and shine bright. You do not go into a new year alone.

I go before you, preparing the way.

I am your beginning and your end and all that is in the middle.

Love from your Heavenly Father.

Forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up.

Do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the

wilderness and stream in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19.
