A Fresh Start!

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:19

God is always taking us forward, leading and guiding us into unknown territories as we learn to lean on Him in greater measure. 

It was 1818 in France, and Louis, a boy of 9, was sitting in his father’s workshop. The father was a harness-maker and the boy loved to watch his father work the leather. "Someday Father," said Louis, "I want to be a harness-maker, just like you."

"Why not start now?" said the father. He took a piece of leather and drew a design on it. "Now, my son," he said, "take the hole-puncher and a hammer and follow this design, but be careful that you don’t hit your hand." excited, the boy began to work, but when he hit the hole-puncher, it flew out of his hand and pierced his eye! He lost the sight of that eye immediately. Later, sight in the other eye failed. Louis was now totally blind. A few years later, Louis was sitting in the family garden when a friend handed him a pinecone. As he ran his sensitive fingers over the cone, an idea came to him. He became enthusiastic and began to create an alphabet of raised dots on paper so that the blind could feel and interpret what was written. Thus, Louis Braille opened up a whole new world for the blind--all because of an accident!

Aren’t you glad that God wants to do something new in your life? Doesn’t it make you excited to know that God desire to give you a fresh start, a new beginning in life. A Change is something that most of us does not want to do. We want to be in our so - called comfort zone. We like to be within our surroundings or within our situation and dont want to look the new realm of maturity to grow into. We cannot live forever in the comfort zone, “ within the womb” or “ within the cocoon”; A change must happen for us to grow. There is always a struggle when a change is manifested, still we need to understand that God is far more interested in our future than He is in our past. Sometimes, He removes His grace, so that a job, position, or task that we once enjoyed becomes tedious and joyless. Other times, the Lord puts pressure on us, squeezing us off the old path, and onto a new one. But still,

We serve a God who is going to do a new thing.  Just we must believe!

> where He leads.

> when He speaks.

> when He expects.

> when He offers.

> when He promises.

> when He reveals!

God has a way of moving you through even the hardest of circumstances. Just trust Him through the entire process. He will bring you out of your personal wilderness. Refocus the thoughts to get the change in life. Rethink the way what you think, the way you think determines the way you feel also itz the replica of what you act. If you are in distress, discouragement or depression, it may be because you are rehearsing those painful moments. It cannot go off without a single “start” from you. Success in life is not trying harder, but living smarter and giving God control of life. 


God has already set into motion a new direction and a new purpose for your life!!  “A Change is the bridge to tomorrow.”
