With Every Sunrise We Are Presented
A Fresh, Blank Page In Our Life’s
Journal.
The Lord Is A God Of New Beginnings,
And He Gives Us The Freedom To Fill
Each Page With Whatever We Choose.
Because Of The Demands Of Modern
Life, With The Breakneck Hustle And
Bustle Of Daily Existence, We Often
Don’t Even Skim Over Our Journal
Entries At The End Of The Day – Or
Week, Or Year.
If We Could Review The Pages Of
Our Lives Up Until Today, Would
We Be Pleased?
Is God Pleased?
Would We Find Abundant Living?
If We Only Scribbler And Scurry
Away The Years That Are Given Us,
How Remorseful A Thing It Will Be
After The Last Page Is Written.
When We And God Look Back Over
The Scrawled Pages That Led Up To
The Last One, Suppose They Are
Filled With Ink That Is Nonsense.
Suppose All The Pages Are Blurred
And Have No Meaning.
It Could Easily Happen – And Has
And Does.
Page-After-Page Of A Life Filled With
Hum-Drum Existence Of Meaningless
Life.
What Worse Thing Could Happen For
A Christian Than To Live Out All His
Page - Come To The Last One, And
Leave Behind Journals Only Worth
Burning.
Instead, Let's Allow The Lord To Lead
Us, Inspire Us, Push And Prod Us To
Leave Behind Pages That Are Branded
With Words, Deeds And Prayers That
Influence Lives For His Kingdom.
What Else Is Relevant?
What Else Will Have Any Lasting
Purpose Or Meaning?
Only God's Word And Eternal
Souls Will Remain.
Recognizing Those Priorities Will
Help Us See The Importance Of
Simplicity.
God Can Forgive The Wasted Pages
Of Our Lives And Help Us To
Savor The Unblemished Days
Ahead.
We'll Need To Slow Down And
Remain Single - Minded On Him.
Let's Make A Commitment Now
To Fill The Unwritten Pages, Day -
By - Day, With Lasting Moments -
Ones That Will Influence The
Eternal Destiny Of Our Fellow
Man.
And Then We'll Whisper, "Thank
You, Lord, For Abundant New
Beginning.
Let Us Walk With Joy In Your
Son - Light Through The Rest Of
Our Lives' Pages."
+ A Bible Verse +
… Be Very Careful, Then, How
You Live - Not As Unwise, But
As Wise, Making The Most Of
Every Opportunity, Because The
Days Are Evil. Ephesians 5:15,16
Take A Fresh Page In Your Journal
And Draw A Picture That Portrays
An Aspect Of A New Beginning,
Such As A Sunrise, Baby In A
Nest, Or An Opening Rose Bud.
