“Help us again, God of our help; don’t hold a grudge against us forever. You aren’t going to keep this up are you? scowling and angry, year after year? Why not help us make a  fresh start — a resurrection life?” Psalm         85:4-5 The Message

1. There is no better place to be alive than where God dwells. And He dwells in you. You are His home. There is only one real way to live and that is out of a “resurrection life”. Your real life is found in Jesus. A long time ago, one man asked for a “fresh start” at his point of quitting. He discovered, and so will you … that God is an always God of “everything grace”. God doesn’t hold grudges. He doesn’t look at you with a scowl or anger. He looks at you with a fresh start. God’s gift for today is the “resurrection life” of His son … made whole, wholly, and a second-chance … and a third … and a fourth… etc. If you are at this point … ask Jesus for help … ask the Father for his help. He always does what he says. He will give you a “fresh start” with a fresh supply. He will give you the “resurrection” supply that is yours in Jesus. And … His supply is for everything. It only takes a moment…” 

“God always does what he says, and is gracious in everything he does. God gives a hand to those down on their luck, gives a fresh start to those ready to quit.” Psalm 145:114
