b'We all have times in our lives when we mess up and things are not right. We\\nall have times when we feel guilty and dirty. We want to make things\\nbetter, but we aren\\u2019t sure what steps we need to take. God is there in\\nthose times. He is all about second chances and new beginnings. You don\\u2019t\\nhave to live with the weight of what you\\u2019ve done. He can take away your\\nguilt and shame and make things new. We can see how God gives new life in\\nnature. For example, a caterpillar goes into the process of becoming a\\nbutterfly not knowing what all is about to happen. An insect that had to\\ncrawl to get around is given beautiful wings and the chance to fly. God\\ngives new life to that insect, new opportunities, a new future. No matter\\nwhat you have come through, by putting your trust in Jesus, you can have a\\nnew beginning. Through Jesus\\u2019s death and resurrection, you can receive\\nforgiveness for every wrong thing you have ever done\\u2014and ever will do. You\\ncan receive hope after pain. You can smile again after going through grief.\\nYou can trust God to bring about real change in your life and give you a\\nnew beginning, like a caterpillar gets after morphing into a butterfly. \\u2022\\nEmily Acker \\u2022 Have you ever felt like you needed a new beginning? \\u2022 Can you\\nthink of a time God\\u2019s transformative power brought hope to a seemingly\\nhopeless situation? Consider taking a moment to thank Him for this! \\u2022 Even\\nwhen we go through hard things, Jesus wants to walk beside us, heal our\\nhurts, cleanse us from sin, and give us hope in Him. Who is a trusted\\nChristian in your life who can remind you of these truths when life gets\\nmessy\\u2014like it does for the caterpillar who\\u2019s still inside the chrysalis?\\nPraise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great\\nmercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection\\nof Jesus Christ from the dead\\u2026 1 Peter 1:3 (NIV)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nIsa.43.16-Isa.43.19|1Pet.1.3'
