Day 366 - To Begin Again

366 Days of Compassion and God's Promises in the Bible

Forget your past troubles. God calls you to begin again today.

“Don’t remember the former things,

and don’t consider the things of old.

Behold, I will do a new thing.

It springs out now.

Don’t you know it?

I will even make a way in the wilderness,

and rivers in the desert.

-Isaiah 43:18-19, WEBBE

Do not be weighed down by the past.

Let the past teach you. Let it inspire you. Let it make you a wiser and stronger person. But never let the past define who you are and what you can still do.

Unlock the chains that bind you.

Set yourself free from all the burdens that keep you from being the person you were meant to be.

Storms come, but so does a season for rebuilding. Problems happen, but so does a chance to let them go. Wounds touch our hearts, but so does a time for healing and moving on.

Arise then and claim the life now given you!

You can still dream. You can still love. And you have a God who can help you through and through.

BEGIN AGAIN

There’d be times when you’d mess up big

times you’d fail

times you’d trip so hard

you’d get knocked down bad

Times like that you’d want to quit

but BEGIN AGAIN.

There’d be times when you’d say

“Enough is enough,

I’ve really had it now,

why bother trying?”

Yeah, there’d be times you’d get so tired

but still, BEGIN AGAIN.

There’d be times you’d think

you’ve just lost everything

times you’ve risked it all

and got back nothin’

Times like that you’d feel

everything you’ve worked so hard for

were in vain, but BEGIN AGAIN.

Begin again,

try again,

believe again,

love again.

There’d be a second wind,

there’d be another star,

there’d be another hand,

to help you rise again.

Don’t start quitting,

never stop dreaming.

A new tomorrow waits

for those who dare –

to BEGIN AGAIN.
