A new beginning.  To begin means that it has a definite place or time of starting, a place of origin, something that did not exist before. A new beginning means to completely do away with the old and make a new one completely different not related to the old one. To begin again or renew means to restart, to revise or revive the one already in place.

To begin something means that there is action taking place. There is movement. If you remain where you are and never move you cannot begin. You cannot stay the same and begin.

Beginning suggests a path, a purpose, a process or task. Every path, process, or task has a point of origin or place where the journey started. This would be the beginning.

God Himself Is The Beginning and He Is the end.

We are all on the path of life as long as we are alive in this Earth. There are many choices to make along this path of life. Many of those choices have a major impact on our path of life, good or bad. Those choices have an eternal effect on our lives and the lives of others. There are many roads and choices in this life but only one true path.

John 14: 6 (NKJV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

What we do today will determine not only our future, the future of our children, but also the future of those yet to be.

The right to choose has been given to Man by God and we are being held accountable for the choices that we make in this life.

Deuteronomy 30: 19 – 20 (Amplified Bible Classic) I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live (20) And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

When God said “I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life” He was giving us the choice between being Spiritually minded and carnally minded.
We cannot be both at the same time. We will be one or the other. God then said choose life or choose being Spiritually minded.

Romans 8: 5 – 6 (NKJV) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. (6) For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

In order to change anything our choice is involved.

It is time to make a new beginning. It is time to let your past be your past at last. What you do with today will determine your future. Your life today will be the fossil of your life tomorrow.
