Here we are…another year, another decade!, and with them both, I believe, comes another level. I’ve been thinking about that more and more lately. Thinking about how no matter where we find ourselves at this very moment in time, there is always another level. New years, new beginnings, fresh starts so to speak, usually inspire a push for becoming better, and we should take advantage of that inspiration for sure. But when the excitement of the “newness” wears off, like it eventually does with a new car or a new pair of shoes, and if I can bring myself to say it, even a fabulous handbag (smile), then we must go deeper to sustain our reach to the next level.

God is that sustenance. Because it’s the Lord Who takes us to every new level we enjoy. He is the One Who can truly take us to new levels of love after a devastating heartbreak and new levels of forgiveness after betrayal and new levels of success after already amazing accomplishment and new levels of healing after sickness and new levels of grace after falling really short of the mark.

So if you were wondering, yes, another level is here for you. No matter what you’ve done or where you are in life’s pathway, there is another level awaiting your arrival. Knowing that is a deep comfort that keeps me hopeful, motivated and reaching forward—come what may.

All things truly are possible with God—including your next level.

P.S. Let me know what new level(s) you’re going for right now.
