Healing and new beginnings

The past is filled at best with minor regrets or frustrations, and at worst, with outright bitterness or anger. Christ does heal brokenness and gives us a new beginning, a foundation to start again and finish well. 2 Corinthians 5:17
"Anyone who belongs to Jesus Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!"

Tilda Norberg, in her book Ashes Transformed, writes, "Even when God intervenes mightily, such as melting a tumor
or pouring miraculous spiritual comfort on breathtaking pain, healing is still a process, one that continues as long as you are alive to God's presence. You can expect an awareness of God's presence to break into your life many times. God continually invites you to yet another step toward wholeness."
