A New Beginning

The world just welcomed a new calendar year.  The Chinese are in the midst of their Lunar New Year and the Christians are making spiritual preparations for Good Friday and Easter.

Indeed, there is much motivation and reason for people to "start life afresh".

The opportunity to "begin anew" has always been a good time to reassess our life's priorities and values.  It's a wonderful time to put on new positive habits and paradigms while letting go of past anxieties and hurts.

Whilst making plans to experience new beginnings are important, let us not neglect having God as the foundation of our plans.  Taking time daily to pray, meditate on His Word, and acting on His will strengthens our foundation, one brick at a time.

God offers each and everyone of us, an unconditional access to his abundant love, unlimited wisdom, protection and blessings.  If the foundation of our plans are based on human intellect, strength and social networks, we are unlikely to find true happiness from our efforts.

When God becomes our sure foundation, we will not have to worry about finding life's "true North".  Our happiness and fulfillment is found in Him.

GOD bless!
