The End is the New Beginning

We use a calendar that has 12 months and 365 days in it. As it nears December 31st, we feel as though something is getting close to an end, and yet on January 1st it feels like a new beginning. Our life is composed of many endings and beginnings. We may live one life, but within this one life we have many different journeys.

(References: Habakkuk 3:17)

3713. 'For I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken about to you' means that nothing would be missing to prevent its actually happening. This becomes clear without explanation.
