Ephesians 2:15
“Then he started over. Instead of continuing with two groups of people separated by centuries of animosity and suspicion, he created a new kind of human being, a fresh start for everybody.”
“He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups.”
Sometimes a fresh start is just what is needed. My loyalty tends to extremes. I can see times in the past when it would have been better to close shop and start afresh. Perhaps what I thought of as loyalty had an element of fear, the known being preferrable to the unknown. The next time Jesus leads me to jump paths I’ll remember the unknown with him is not fearsome but full of promise and take the leap.
Lord, may my hand always be in yours, excited and not fearful of the future you have lovingly planned just for me.
