Embracing the Fresh Start
As I reflect on my journey with Jesus, spanning over five decades, I’m reminded of the innocence and curiosity of the young children I once taught in Sunday school. Their wide eyes and eager faces still linger in my memory, as they colored simple pictures to illustrate the day’s lesson. Their questions, though simple, came from the heart, like “Will there be cowboys in heaven?”
A Lifelong Path of Discovery
Throughout my walk with Jesus, I’ve experienced brilliant flashes of insight and torturous struggles with truth. Yet, despite the ups and downs, I’ve come to realize that I’m still a beginner. With each new revelation, God invites me to embark on a fresh journey of discovery, to practice new disciplines, take new risks, and believe new truths.
The Beauty of Spiritual Maturity
As we grow toward spiritual maturity, our minds are transformed, and we become more obedient to the whispers of the Holy Spirit. May we always maintain the freshness of beginning, embracing each new opportunity with humility and gratitude.
A Heartfelt Prayer
Thank you, Father, for accepting me by grace and giving me the chance to start anew. May I always approach life with the attitude of a beginner, eager to learn, grow, and explore the depths of your love and wisdom. Amen.
