Newness

Isa 43:18-19 (GNB)
But the LORD says, "Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago.
19 Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already- you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there.

Sometimes it is so hard to forget the way we used to be. Thoughts of past defeats and failures sometimes cripple us when we seek to step into newness- into our destiny.
God is constantly at work- He is molding and shaping us (if we let Him). We need to ask Him to show us the "new us"- and seek Him to help us to believe in ourselves.
---
God, help us to let go of who we were in the past. Show us the "new thing" that You are doing! Encourage us, guide us to grasp what is happening in us and around us.
I lay down the man I used to be-
Please raise me up in newness-
Infuse me with Your Holy Spirit-
Help me to believe in what You have made me!
Father, You make all things new- Thank You for Your amazing power! Bless me indeed and help me to share Your love and Your word. Shine through me today. AMEN
