Time for a fresh start

A MESSAGE OF FAITH

As the calendar turns and a new year dawns, we are reminded that God is a God of new beginnings. Scripture is filled with moments where God invites His people to step forward into something fresh— sometimes with excitement, sometimes with uncertainty, but always with purpose. The New Year offers us a similar invitation: to pause, reflect, and realign our hearts with Him.

It is natural at this time of year to look back. We remember joys that made us grateful and hardships that tested our faith. Some prayers were answered clearly; others still linger, seemingly unheard. Yet even in the unanswered moments, God has been present. Lamentations 3:22–23 tells us, “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Not just every year, but every morning, God renews His mercy toward us.
