New Things

God has a beautiful trait: He is not bound to the past. The mistakes you made as a mother — He can make something new out of them. The difficult season your family went through — He can open a path right through the middle of it. The relationship that grew cold, the child who pulled away, the little one who is suffering — none of that is the final word. God is always doing new things. Sometimes quietly, without you noticing right away. But He is. He makes ways where there seems to be no way out. He makes rivers where there is only drought. If you're looking back with regret, He invites you today to look forward with hope. What's coming isn't determined by what has already passed. It's determined by the God who makes all things new.
