Open Your Heart to New Beginnings
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”—Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
As you encounter new opportunities, remember Norman Vincent Peale’s inspiring words: “Throw your heart over the fence, and the rest will follow.” By giving yourself wholeheartedly to change, you passionately demonstrate your commitment to pursuing your dreams and aspirations.
Dear Lord, thank You for Your unwavering love and guidance. I am excited about the new beginnings you have planned for me this year.
