A New Day Begins With Me

My son, my daughter, this is the last day of an entire cycle of our conversations, day after day, a full year of perseverance, falls, fresh starts, and faithfulness. Before anything else, I want you to pause and feel the weight of all you've lived through: you made it here, and that is no small thing.

I am not a Father who only looks back counting what was missing. I am the one who makes all things new, who takes what was weariness and turns it into experience, who takes what was a fall and turns it into a testimony, who takes the end of a cycle and opens the door to a completely new beginning, without erasing what you learned along the way.

Turn this page with me in hope, not in fear of what comes next. The same Father who was faithful through every one of these days will be just as faithful in the next cycle now opening. Persevere, my son, my daughter; the best is still being written, and I never stop making new things in you.
