Good morning…
As we grow out of 2020 and ignite God’s peace and light in 2021, words from T.S. Eliot guide us forward.
“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language, and next years words await another voice,” says the poet. “What we call the beginning is often the end, and to make an end is to make a beginning.”
Morning by morning, we can choose to make an end to fear, negativity, depleting division.
As we end we begin – we begin to grow trust, gratitude, and creative connections.
“…every time we make a choice for hope, we are turning the part of us that chooses into something different than it was before,” write Kitty Crenshaw and Dr. Cathy Snapp in The Hidden Life Awakened. “Just as it takes more than one footstep, though, to create a new path in the ground, it takes more than one thought to make a new pathway in our mind. We have to choose to cultivate the good we want in our mind over and over again. Somehow, the Apostle Paul understood this when he said, ‘Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.'” (p. xiii)
Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes (Romans 12:2, TPT).
As we end, stop, cut free, we begin anew. We cultivate the good. We continue to empower the inward transformation of God’s Holy Spirit one grateful thought at a time.
