A New Beginning I ...

Monday, April 15, 2013. Some friends of mine have problems in their partnership. In fact, one can say that the partnership failed. Now, they are in trouble and both of them are looking for a new beginning. But what does it mean?

Setup for a new beginning …

One possibility for a new beginning when you face real problems is to try to resolve the problems. But another possibility for a new beginning is that you declare your former path as a failure and you start in a new environment. That can be in your job, it can be a neighborhood you live in, it can be your partnership, it can be basically everything.

What is it that distinguishes one path from the other? When is something a failure, when do you try to renew it and save or reconcile the relationship? It is one of the most difficult things in life, to distinguish these two possibilities!

But there might be other people around, which help you or encourage you to search the path of peace. They might help you to solve the problems, to stay calm and find access to the other people involved. We should not lightly give up when there is still a chance to find to each other!!

Faith means a new beginning! …

**

Faith talks about a failed relationship: it is the relationship between man and God. It is a relationship, which was meant to be the foundation of life, but it did not work out, from the very beginning. If we look around: most people do not have a relationship to God. They do not trust him. They do not know him. We can say: this relationship has failed. It is a fact, today.

But God wants to reconcile this relationship. He is searching for understanding, for trust, for faith, for love and truth. He is not willing to give up easily! He wants us to know him. He wants us to trust him - since he is trustworthy. He is the eternal father.

The invitation to a new beginning is the invitation to new trust. It is the invitation to new faith. Faith can renew itself every day. That is the power of God, who is the life and the truth and the way. When we want to find renewal, we are invited to go to him and ask him to come into our life! Where ever we are with faith, let us ask him today. Let us pray: Lord, come to us and guide us. Let us find a new beginning, today! (Roland Potthast) ... more texts
