I've always wondered about the concept of New Life. About what it meant to be born anew. About how it would feel to get a second chance to this life. A do-over, if you will. A chance to not let the mistakes of your Youth define the person you are today. A second chance to live the same situations and through the same circumstances you already have. Except this time, you're equipped with the knowledge of the mistakes you've already made. How would you live then? Would you make those same mistakes all over again? Would you be a better person, for the knowledge that you have gained? If you live with yesterday's regrets, as most of us do, all of us wish that this life came with a 'Reset' button.
The truth is every new day you awake, you are born again. Every fresh breath of air you take in is a fresh grab at the opportunity of New Life. Every new day is a chance for you to right the wrongs of the past. To let go of yesterday's mistakes. To close another chapter of your life, to let go of all the baggage that is weighing you down, and just live. To forgive. To learn to love again. To learn to start again. To grow!
Our community celebrated Easter this week, a time when we commemorate the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus. My prayer for each one of you is that you bury your yesterdays in that tomb. That you walk forth with a fresh zeal and a new lease on life, when you walk out of that tomb, today.
Happy Easter!
