‘So take me as you find me, all my fears and failures, fill my life again. I give my life to follow, everything I believe in, now I surrender.’

On Sunday morning during the song ‘Everyone needs compassion’ I was given a picture of Jesus drawing a line in the sand and a sense of Him saying, “This is a new beginning.” As I’ve been pondering this, these thoughts came to mind; sometimes we can hold on to past hurts & regrets. We can be so filled with worrying about things that we forget to live in the now. Isaiah 43 v 18 says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” And Amos 5 in the message version of the bible, (which happened to be part of the verse for today as I write this) encourages us to “Seek good and not evil — and live!”
