It’s a new season amid a new way of life for us all. The Lord says in Isaiah 43:16-18, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now is springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Despite Israel’s idolatry and abandonment of God, still He responded with salvation, blessing, and an opportunity to proclaim His praise. During this Lent season, I am reflecting on how gracious a God we serve, and I am reminded that there is never a bad time to step back, start over, and embrace the healing and renewal we have through the Cross as well as work on my offering of grace, forgiveness, healing, and renewing love to those around me.
