As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about how life keeps MOVING FORWARD. Every day is a new beginning. We have to have HOPE and trust and move forward. It would be dangerous to drive a car always looking only in the rearview mirror. And it is dangerous to live life always looking backward.
Moving forward often takes DETACHMENT. Moving forward can be painful, as we see things with greater clarity and less glitter. Moving forward means trusting in God’s PERFECT plan. Moving forward means having a new excitement that wonderful things and miracles are just around the corner.
Today, I’m going to look forward with faith, hope, and love. I am going to embrace the past and the lessons I have learned while looking forward to HOPE and TRUST. I am going to allow God’s WORD, the sacraments, many friendships, and the PRESENT MOMENT to be my guide.
Have a blessed day and keep looking forward to the future. It is an eternal life with Jesus!
