Say Goodbye to Yesterday With Jesus

At the end of every YouTube video, my husband and I say, Until next time, we’re Friday’s…Forever. Then we wave and say goodbye, and even put up Winston the pug’s front paw so he can bid everyone bye, too. 

Because our viewers really enjoy Winston waving his paw to the camera to say goodbye.

But some goodbyes make us sad. Like when a loved one or beloved pet passes away. Or a friend or family member moves across the country or to another country. 

Yet, when we say hello to Jesus, meet Him as Lord and Savior, we get to say goodbye to yesterday.

And yesterday’s goodbyes are good and indeed necessary for our spiritual journey. You see, looking forward and walking with Jesus each day grows our faith. Still further, it makes us more and more like Christ. 

Now let’s look at how we bid goodbye to yesterday.

God drew me to Himself through the Holy Spirit at 16. 

The Lord called me to use my gifts for His glory and kingdom. Because the callings and gifts of God are irrevocable, they cannot be undone. (Romans 11:29)

While all these facts bring me peace, security, and direction, I’m grateful God’s not finished with me yet. 

God’s Word promises He’s still working on me, and you. 

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 (ESV)

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6 (ESV)
