From Now On

You aren’t confined by your past.

You aren’t defined by your failures.

You can be refined by your mistakes,

You can be realigned by your disappointments,

Because your life isn’t a cumulative account.

Today is new—brand new.

From now on, everything can be different.

That’s what Mary learned.

It’s what she exclaimed with joy:

“From now on all generations will call me blessed.”

One moment of grace,

One revelation of God’s favor,

And your life is repositioned—

Reframed in the assurance of your blessedness.

I bless you to see your life from this day forward—

From now on.

Does something need to change?

It can, from now on.

Does a new path need to emerge?

It can, from now on.

From now on, may you see only your blessedness in Christ.

Today’s Blessing is Inspired by:

Luke 1:46–49 (ESV) — 46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

In Christ, this is, truly, a new day. All is forgiven. You’re new in Him. Everything can be different from now on. And that’s the Gospel!
