How about a new life and a fresh start? NeedEncouragement.comPlease contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.

A fresh start begins with having the right attitude and trusting in God. Sometimes life can weigh us down with its challenges, mistakes, and regrets, but a fresh start is like a gentle breeze that sweeps away all the negativity. It’s a chance to leave behind what no longer serves us and embrace new opportunities for growth and happiness. When we receive this precious gift of a clean slate, it’s important to remember that it is indeed a blessing – something to be thankful for.

I believe that when we experience such grace ourselves, we should extend it to others as well. Just like in golf when you’re allowed a mulligan after an unfortunate shot, offering someone else a fresh start after they mess up with you can truly make a difference in their lives. We all have received our fair share of mulligans at some point or another – those second chances given by fate or divine intervention. Personally, God has given me several mulligans throughout my journey; whether it was overcoming addiction to drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes – each one was vital in shaping who I am today. However, the most significant fresh start came when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior because His love made all these transformations possible and filled me with hope for an even brighter future ahead! ~ Bill Greguska

2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

God Has A Destiny For Your Fresh Start!


Receive Forgiveness And Walk Free!

Here is a suggested prayer if you want to receive God’s forgiveness and walk with Him daily. You can pray now if this prayer expresses your heart’s desire you can pray it now.
Jesus Christ will come into your life, just as He promised. He will bring His peace and hope. Lord Jesus, I want in my life. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life to you and ask you to come in as my Lord and Savior; please direct my life. I thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be. Amen. Your problems will not automatically disappear, but you will be guaranteed that God’s Holy Spirit will always be with you, giving you strength and wisdom for all your problems until you die.

 

Becoming A Christian Is A Fresh Start!

Becoming a Christian is the most incredible event that will ever occur in your life. You have found peace with your Creator. You have found everlasting life, and you can be sure that God will never leave you nor forsake you.
God has brought you this far, and He will complete the beautiful work He has begun in you. God knows your every thought, care, and most profound concern. We all have a conscience that God had provided when He created us. God does not want us to be like robots and be programmed to love Him, but instead, He gives us free will to choose good instead of evil!
There is a vast difference between being religious and having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Start to take your faith more seriously and live it out each day, don’t just by playing, ng church on Sunday! You can follow the crowd and do what feels right; you can follow the desires of your flesh. But do not say I did not warn you when your life falls apart and you find yourself lost. My life fell apart before I was 26 years old, and I hit bottom before I realized how much I needed God.

How To Create A Fresh Start? ~  Billy Graham


Concerns Before Having A Fresh Start!

First, and most important — do you have “assurance” of your salvation? The Bible says to “make your calling and election sure” 2 Peter 1:10, so let’s go through a short “checklist” to ensure you are saved. Be prepared if you want a fresh start:
  1. Are you aware that God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ 1 Timothy 3:16 and that he died for the sins of the world?
  2. Did your sin bring you to the need for Jesus Christ to be your Savior?
  3. Did you “repent” and put your faith in Jesus?
  4. Are you convinced that He suffered and died on the Cross and rose again on the third day? God acquits us from the Courtroom of Eternal Justice because Jesus Christ paid our fine. We are “justified” (made right with God) by His suffering death. The resurrection of Jesus Christ was God’s seal of approval that His precious blood was sufficient to pay the penalty.
