                            The Beginning

The past is behind you and is rubble that I locked away.  It is removed and
here, it is a new day that is born.

So you stand and see that a new start is before you, yet you see nothing,
just emptiness.  But I will fill the emptiness.  I will fill this space with
love, with joy, with soft breezes and a new beginning.  I will fill this
space with good and wonderful and happy things.  My storehouse is full to
overflowing, much has been stored there for you, yet, until the past was
closed, how could you move forward into what I had waiting.

Do not think of the dry lands you have trekked through, nor the dark times
that enfolded you, for they are over.  Now is the time of light, of praising
from dawn to dusk, of restoration.  Yes,  this is a new time.  A new and
glorious time.  You do not see what is familiar as this is a new time, with
new and wonderful ahead of you.  Find peace in the stillness as I restore
and mend and set to rights.  Be still as I mend the sore places in your
heart and fill you with wisdom and serenity.  In all the places you
struggled through, the darkness, the loneliness, the pain and emptiness, I
was there, loving and caring, planning a new way, a new day.

Rejoice.  This is not emptiness you see.  This is a beginning.
