Dear Ones in Christ,
Warmest Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
“Every end is a new beginning”
Reading Portion: Luke 5:1-11
What may feel like an end may be just the darkness before the dawning of a new dream, a new challenge, a new opportunity, a new tomorrow. You have within you the God’s power to turn terminations into transitions. You can break through this phase to a new plane. As the seed broke through the concrete to raise its head to the bright, new world, so you can break through a new and wonderful like!
Starting over again- it can be ‘fun’ and it can be done!
Nothing can appear as frustrating and overwhelming as having to start over again. If you are tempted to look at life in terms of cynicism and futility, dear ones, I want to show you how possibility thinking can help you find love and joy. Here’s how to find self-fulfillment: First, trust in the Lord. Second, look out for your worst enemy – your self. Third, listen to advice from positive thinking people. Fourthly, lower your net again. Try, and keep trying, until you make your catch.
There are other fish in the sea:
Look out for negative thinking that makes you say,” I will never find love, happiness, or success in life”. Like Peter, you may be tempted to say, “The Lake is empty. It is impossible to believe there are more fish”. The truth is there are other fish in the sea, and there are more tomorrows for you. If you have lost a loved one, remember this: There are countless people in the world who are in the same boat as you. They, too, are lonely and seeking companionship. The surest cure for loneliness is to seek out others who are lonelier than you. If you have lost a job, remember this: there are other jobs out there, may be better than the one you lost!
So don’t cash in- cast in:
Throw out a line. You can’t catch fish if you don’t put a baited hook in the water. Take the first step! Be willing to start small! It beasts sitting at home, watching daytime television. You simply must make a positive move!
Look at what you have left – Never look at what you have lost
Be of good cheer! There still are: countless new possibilities! Overlooked and underrated fantastic opportunities! Talents that you have been neglecting! Assets that have been lying dormant! Open doors waiting to swing out! What an exiting prospect! And you have the freedom and the power within you to identify which direction your life should take.
There’s hope for a breakthrough for you
If you are at the bottom, weighed down by overwhelming circumstances, if you are at the edge of panic, the most dangerous thing you can do is to make a negative, irreversible decision. Keep believing, and there will be a break through. You will break through the challenges that you are currently facing. You will emerge on the other side and say, “It was all for the better”. You can find new hope when you realize that today is the beginning! God isn’t finished with you yet. Just give Him a chance to break through. There is a breakthrough for you. But remember the breakthrough is up to you!
Tomorrow is today and today is a new day
Don’t throw a curtain across tomorrow. The exciting thing to realize is that tomorrow is a lot closer than you realize. In fact, for many of you it is already here! And as contradictory as it may sound, “Tomorrow is TODAY!” Don’t worry about tomorrow. Concentrate on today, for your tomorrow is today. How you think and how you act today will determine your future. So plan and pray your way toward tomorrow. Get ready for tomorrow because YOU will have a part to play in it!
“Don’t tell the Lord how big the problem is; tell the problem how Great the Lord is!”
Yours in His Ministry,
