As a school aged child, I loved getting a new diary every
year at Christmas. I loved to write my
thoughts and deepest secrets in it. Over
the years my diaries went from an elementary girl’s silliness to a teenage girl’s
joys and heartaches of dating. My diaries
reflected my life at the time and how each year revealed a hope for a clean
slate.
Today, I love starting a new journal every year. To me it represents a fresh start and
anticipation of something new. Although
I no longer spill out childhood secrets, I do pen my thoughts from my quiet
time. Sometimes God provides insight to
an issue or decision that must be made.
Other times I simply write a scripture in my journal. Of course, there are tons of prayers for a person
who has been laid on my heart that day.
In addition, each year my journal reveals a little more of what God is
teaching me and who he is.
In the same way my new journal provides a new start to
writing, the Lord gives us a clean slate everyday through our ministry and in
our spiritual life. The Lord promises, “though
your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow.”
I am glad I serve a Heaven Fatherly who allows me to start
afresh daily with a clean slate. How
about you?
