All Things New

“All Things New”

I wish  

some things 

in my  life  

had been 

just a little  bit

 different 

when I take time to 

reminisce

wax poetic 

with my pen 

it’s then I see that He 

has made all things 

work for His good 

every little dash and line 

brush strokes 

with His hands of time 

He’s making all things new

every regret 

I’d like to forget- 

all things led me 

to You 

every day 

A new lesson learned 

touch the burner 

you will get 

burned 

forgive me Father 

for I have sinned 

a new creation 

then begins 

Now  I see that 

He has made all things 

Work for HIs good

“Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past.
 See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.  Isaiah 43 

Now that I have two teenage daughters, I think a lot about my own teen years… the decisions I made, the things I did.  Now I can look back and see how He has taught me so many important lessons over the years from the not-so-great decisions I’ve made.  I am grateful for God’s grace, and how when we surrender our life to Him completely- he takes ALL THINGS, even our regrets- and uses them for His glory.
