The concept of Fresh beginnings was born out of a desire to live emotionally healthy. When I gave my life to Christ over thirty years ago, I did not know that living a healthy spiritual life was very dependent on a healthy thought life. The Apostle Paul tells us that we are to live a transformed life through the changing of our thoughts. This devotional will encourage examination of your thoughts and how they manage your emotions.
