I try always to be grateful for the opportunity to find newness and refreshment. I believe God desires us to find in each day its newness–a day we have never seen before, a day we have never experienced before, a day that is a gift from God; a day that will bring new challenges and new opportunities. We seldom experience such renewal–too often our days have a certain sameness and routine, even boredom.
Today I see want to see newness! I will be helped by being in a different place with different activities, new challenges and renewed relationships. In reality, these are only the periphery of life–the center of life is the newness possible in one’s walk with God through Christ–his presence, our communication, our shared commitments, our single purpose, the desire to do only what he wants and only that which brings him glory in the context of life.
