The idea of a new year has been consuming my thoughts. "New" indicates change. Change is very difficult for me; good or bad it can be stressful. But I feel I'm at a point in my life that I want change to happen.
I want to continue moving forward. I want to grow. I do not want to remain the same or to become complacent with where I am at in life.
In my devotion a few weeks ago, the question was asked "What was the year that changed your life?" What year brought divine revelations that forever changed your relationship with Christ? Have you had one yet?
"Pray this is one." Pray this is the year that you will be forever changed.
I am not one to declare new year's resolutions; but I do know I want to be better. I want to be a better daughter, a better sister, a better friend, a better supervisor, a better listener, a better helper, a better giver... a better Christian. I want to be full of joy.
The way I will be "better" is to draw closer to God and to lose myself in His will. It is there that I will find peace, comfort, and joy, no matter what happens.
"Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh."
Psalms 144:15
"...and the one who trusts in the Lord will be happy."
Proverbs 16:20
"I have spoken these things to you so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete."
John 15:11
If anyone asks what I hope to accomplish this year, my only hope is that I am able to complete God's will for me every day.
