And See Anew.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deuteronomy 30:2-3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

… and return to the Lord your God, and you and your children obey him with all your heart and with all your soul, just as I am commanding you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you, gathering you again from all the peoples among whom the Lord your God has scattered you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark 1:15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

… saying, \u2018The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We think all too often that we do not need to repent and return and believe anew the Good News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in this in between time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we remember<\/p>\n\n\n\n

humbly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we need start each day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with confession,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

followed by repentance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then returning to God<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and believing anew<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the Good News,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That<\/p>\n\n\n\n

promises us that God is eagerly waiting for us to repent, return and believe anew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new beginning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
