Would you like a fresh start?
“Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us;”
Luke 1:78
You know, this is what Christmas is all about. Fresh starts, new beginnings, and changes in direction.
I am referring to our lives here. Even Jesus’ name given in this verse as Dayspring, means light rising, first light, morning star...all these definitions speaking to our hearts that in Him, we can have a fresh beginning. My husband and I loved this word so much, Dayspring, that we gave our oldest daughter this name.
Just one caveat. We can’t keep doing life the same old way and expect fresh results from our Lord.
Nope, I don’t mean work harder, try more, be someone you aren’t. However, we can’t keep making our own plans and asking God to bless them. We can’t keep putting activities, relationships, and goals as our first priority and not spend time daily with the Master and breathing in His presence and His Word.
If we make this one change of laying down our will and making time to be with Him, we will be changed. Make His pleasure the driving force in Your life and the addictions and behaviors been you have been working so hard to distance yourself from will literally lose their hold. But you have to make this one change to experience dayspring in your own life...
So come. Now. Daily. Forever.
