Dear Friends<\/strong>,<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBehold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?\u201d Isaiah 43:19<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he who sat upon the throne said, \u2018Behold, I make all things new\u2026Write this, for these\u00a0<\/em>words are trustworthy and true.\u2019\u201d Revelation 21:5<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another year has turned, and we find ourselves in 2025. There\u2019s always something mixed about\u00a0a new year: a cocktail, perhaps, of nostalgia and excitement and anxiety and hope. We want\u00a0<\/span>something new. We want a fresh start. But what\u2019s really new? Is there any freshness we can\u00a0<\/span>actually trust?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Less than a month ago, we celebrated Christmas, the living memorial of the day God burst into\u00a0the world in an unimaginable way in Bethlehem. \u201cFor while gentle silence enveloped all things,\u00a0<\/span>and night in its swift course was now half gone, your all-powerful word leaped from heaven,\u00a0<\/span>from the royal throne, into the midst of the land that was doomed\u201d (Wisdom 18:14-15). In\u00a0<\/span>Christ, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. There are no commonplace lives\u2014we are all\u00a0<\/span>caught up in the great drama of salvation. Jesus declares in John 5:17, \u201cMy father is working still,\u00a0<\/span>and I am working.\u201d This applies to every person, to every situation. There are no exceptions. He\u00a0<\/span>is trustworthy and true.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What does the Lord ask of us? To pay attention. To linger in his love and to praise his works:\u00a0\u201cFor you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work\u201d (Psalm 92:4). And as we do this, we start to\u00a0<\/span>notice something extraordinary. We begin to praise him for all his works\u2014for everything he\u00a0<\/span>permits\u2014for what we understand and what we do not, for what we like and for what we may\u00a0<\/span>wish had never happened. Everything is embraced by his love. Everything is washed in the\u00a0<\/span>Spirit of God. Somehow things are the same\u2026 yet altered.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And then, we too are able to perceive, with all the friends of God on earth and in heaven, the\u00a0One who makes all things new.<\/span><\/p>\n

God bless,<\/p>\n
