THE CURTAIN RISES

I’m standing just offstage and the curtain is about to rise on a brand new day. Past performance informs the moment, but this hour has never been, it is uncontaminated with the past. What is the full potential of this uncharted moment? Will I confidently step forward in fresh grace and opportunities, or will I drag yesterday’s shortcomings, misgivings and calamities into this unspoiled moment? Lord of New Beginnings, You have given me this new day. Let Your light wash over me. This new day is Your gift of life. May the glory of Your brightness be seen in me.
