Scripture:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

Encouragement Word:

There’s nothing too broken that God can’t restore.
There’s no past too dark that God can’t redeem.
There’s no sin too deep that grace can’t reach.

You can start over.

Maybe you’ve made mistakes. Maybe you walked away. Maybe you’ve let shame, guilt, or failure define your identity. But Jesus doesn’t define you by your worst moment—He defines you by His finished work on the cross.

Repentance is your access point to freedom.
Not to keep reliving the past—but to walk in newness of life.
Not to replay your shame—but to rise with hope.

You don’t have to get everything right before you come to Him. Just come.

And when you do, He doesn’t just clean you up—He makes you new.

Speak This Over Yourself:

I am not my past.
I am not my mistake.
I am not what people said about me.
I am not who I was.

I am redeemed.
I am forgiven.
I am being restored.

I can start again—today.

Reflection Questions:

• What’s something you need to forgive yourself for?

• What area of your life do you need to surrender so you can move forward?

Prayer:

Father,
Thank You that I don’t have to stay stuck in regret.
Thank You that in You, I am a new creation.
I receive Your mercy, grace, and forgiveness.
I choose today to believe I can start again—with You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
