The number eight has always been associated with new beginnings. With this in mind August, the eighth month of the year, would be a great time to think about establishing some new beginnings. Throughout the course of life we need moments where we reassess where we have been and where we want to go.
Don't like what you've been getting out of life? Feel like your in a rut and you can't get out? Want more bang for your buck? Maybe it is time to reassess where you are and what you've been doing. Maybe it's time for a new start - a fresh beginning.
There is no better place to start than with your spiritual life. Where are you in your relationship with Jesus? If you are not right spiritually everything else follows suit. Not always, but many times the disappointments and dissatisfaction in life can be traced back to a faltering relationship with Christ. Somewhere your relationship fell by the wayside. And your struggle is not so much with life as it is with the fact that you are out of fellowship with the One who speaks life into your being. The One who sparks vision, and creates dreams, and renews aspirations in you has not been invited into the inner recesses of your heart where life takes on real meaning and purpose. Oh, how desperately Jesus wants to be included in the inner parts of your very being. That is if we will allow Him entry.
As you enter into the final third of the year, could it be time to consider a new beginning in your walk with the Lord? How about starting new with inviting Jesus to come walk with you, to launch you on a new beginning with Him, to start you down a path that will grant you a fabulous new future. One that will grant your heart's desire and make life a journey full of excitement and reward. One worth living and above your wildest expectations. Go ahead - soar into a new beginning! And take Jesus along with you. As Helen Keller said, "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." So soar!
