This is A Day of New Beginnings, part 8 of 8.

This Is A Day Of New Beginnings, by Brian Wren —

This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that’s gone.

For by the life and death of Jesus,
love’s mighty Spirit, now as then,
can make for us a world of difference,
as faith and hope are born again.

Then let us, with the Spirit’s daring,
step from the past and leave behind
our disappointment, guilt, and grieving,
seeking new paths, and sure to find.

Christ is alive, and goes before us
to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
our God is making all things new.

— This is. Today is. Right now.

This really is that day.

God made it.

God gave it to us.

We celebrate in it.

We are filled with glee.

Today.

God is a gracious giver of good gifts, starting with the present of the present!
