Re-new

Life doesn't come with a re-wind button.

If it did, I would like to go back and re-visit some choices. I would like to re-think some spoken words. I would like to re-do some moments.

Last week I said some things I would like to take back.
I caved in to some negative thoughts rooted in fear.
I let anger have a seat at my table.
And I entertained self-pity to a three course meal at my expense.
You would think I could recognize the signs by now.
The "DO NOT ENTER - It's a TRAP!" sign, but enemy keeps using those same dirty tricks because they are so easy to fall for.

God, in his wisdom, does not allow "rewind" in life. And if I began unraveling my life to start stitching again, the entire design would be changed. And I would have a completely different outcome... and I would miss out on some of the most beautiful restoration ever. Re-store.

That's a "re" I can get inspired about!

It is a NEW week.

A NEW day.

A NEW hour.

A NEW minute.

This is a beautiful way to begin Easter week...

Re-membering...

Jesus died to make all things NEW.

The enemy seeks to turn our heads toward the OLD ways of our OLD life.

But Christ calls us to the NEW creation HE has made out of US!

Luke 22:19-21
"And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."

Re-fresh.

Re-new.
