Look ahead with joy

“Pay close attention now:

I’m creating a new heavens and a new earth.

All the earlier troubles, chaos and pain

Are things of the past, to be forgotten.

Look ahead with joy…”

Is. 65:17-25 MSG

Today is a new day, rejoice and be glad.  Yesterday is over – forget it, let it go: start anew, make amends, right your wrongs, look forward to the great future God has for you, and live for today… live for right now.  Yes, enjoy every moment, for you are in Christ, and with him, joy is possible all of the time.  God loves you and it is for his glory that you bear much fruit (John 15:8).  So put your head up and run the race set before you (Hebrews 12:1), not behind you.  You are God’s child!  You are blessed!
