I have talked to so many people that would like to move away and start over.  I see people that are unhappy with their lot in life and want to run away.  This normally does not solve any of our problems.  It just relocates them.  When we run away we take our old habits and the like with us so it is the same song, different verse.

The only way to truly start over is to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and the forgiveness of your sin.  This will not let us run away from our sin so to speak.  What it will do is give us a clean slate to start over.  Oh, we will still have the consequences of our sin and we will have to live with that; but, we can start over.  We also get a new perspective.  Things will look different to us  We will handle things differently.  How about that for starting over.

Look at Ezekiel 36:25-26, “Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.”  If you want a new heart and a clean start then run to Jesus and He can take care of it all.

So, how are you doing?
