A Woman’s Heart with Lisa Granger

When the New Wears Off

What happens when the new wears off?  There is an allure and excitement that comes with something new, whether it is a new year, new relationship or new item. But the enthusiasm may fade as routines and challenges emerge or things change.  This cycle of newness can occur in various aspects of our life.  Fortunately, we can solace in the everlasting newness available in our relationship with Christ.  We can embrace the opportunity for ongoing renewal and growth in Him.
