Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is!

~Isaiah 43:19, the Message

anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it!

~2 Corinthians 5:17
