Looking Back

Albert Bogle August 07, 2016 0 0

Matthew 6:34

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

If you were to stop and look back on the week that has gone and make up a collage of all the things that have happened in your life  -  what would it look like? For some the colours  and images would be bright and sharp for some the whole week would look out of focus. For others the images would be grey and lifeless. Looking back can be helpful I know, but sometimes we need to stop, living our lives in the rearview mirror.  Today is Sunday! It’s resurrection day  - time to look defeat in the face and turn fear into hope and hope into living a new way and begin walking into a new life.

 

Lord,

I’m turning

Turning away from the darkness

Turning away from the fear

Turning my face to the light

Yesterday is gone

My love is not rooted in the past

I’m not hiding anymore

I’m not believing in ‘yesterday’

I’m not a ‘Beatle’

I’m a person made in your image

It’s a new day

Regardless of the weather outside

Inside I’m singing

Help me turn the volume up

Let me dance with you this morning

Let me feel a new world has begun

And when the evening comes

Let me still be dancing
