Do You Need a Fresh Start?

All of us sometimes wish we could start anew; get a new beginning. Is this you? Life has not

worked out the way we planned and instead has turned into a nightmare. All your dreams, ideas, hopes, and aspirations seem to have fallen apart. You are now frustrated, discouraged, and are depressed over this thing called life. Where do you go now? What do you do now?

If you are not a Christian, please consider turning your life over to God. He can make all things

new. When we believe and obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). All our past sins are literally washed away (Revelation 1:5; Acts 22:16). We have a new purpose in life as we seek to please God and obey His word. We are added to the family of Christ Jesus and are members of His church (Acts 2:47).

But you say, I am already a Christian and experiencing all these problems. What am I supposed to do? Realize we will have problems and troubles in this life, but Jesus has given us the victory (John 16:33). We keep our eyes and minds focused on Jesus, so we do not grow weary or become discouraged (Hebrews 12:1-3). We realize this world is not our home and focus on the true eternal matters (Hebrews 11:13-16). Understand these heartaches and sorrows are but for the moment (2 Corinthians 4:17). Finally, our true goal is not our pleasures but doing the Father’s will (Matthew 7:21).



Friend, keep your heart and eyes centered on Jesus. Lose your life for His sake and you will find

it (Matthew 10:39). Focus on what really matters! Become single minded- doing the Lord’s will.

Everything else will fall into place as the Lord directs (Matthew 6:33; Proverbs 3:5,6).
