Growing Forward!

"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: and they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."
~Isaiah 9:2

"[The light of Christ] shines even in our darkest moments. And it is that light that calls us out and into better things: Love instead of Hate, Hope instead of Despair, Gratitude instead of Bitterness, Compassion instead of Judgment. I hope we all feel that light shining upon us, a light built into our very souls, and that we can find a way to share it with the world." ~Mara

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

~Isaiah 43:18,19

"Those who become Christians become new persons.  They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone.  A new life has begun!"

~2 Corinthians 5:17

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

~Lamentations 3:22-24

"Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him."

~Hebrews 11:6

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

~Galatians 6:9

Today, I am thankful for new beginnings!
