                           Fresh Start

I take away all that is not to be.  I wash away your sins, your past 
mistakes, your hurts, and I leave a clean slate for you.  A new one 
unblemished with the things of the past.  I roll it all away, never to be 
seen, never to be remembered again.

Do not look at what was for this will stop you seeing what is.  Look at what 
is, now, before you.  A fresh start.  A fresh, unmarked time.  Another 
period.  A fresh day.  I wipe it all away.  I take away everything that 
hinders you until it is no more.  Walk straight upon the path that is before 
you.  You cannot walk the old way when you have tasted of the new.  You 
cannot do the old things when you have been called to the new.  The old is 
behind you, it is left behind, it is gone.  Now there is a new way.  It is 
called My way and I walk that way with you.  I lead you and beckon.  You 
will hear Me, telling you, "This is the way, walk in it."  Walk that way.  
That is the way you are to go.
