New Year

A new year is always thought of as a new start, breaking old habits and creating new practices. So many things are promised, so many commitments are broken. Road blocks, failed diets, workouts that go south, relationships that sour, loss of money, and drifting away from God. So why can’t we stick to what we start? Why can’t we be honest with ourselves; become loyal, respectful, appreciative authority, disciplined and just plain focused?

Although it may seem like it, our life really isn’t broken; it’s just that we get bored. We blame others for our failures or shortcomings. Life’s really not broken; we think we need to fix things we cannot change. So what is the answer for each and every New Year? Jesus Christ! The bible says in John 14:6 “I am the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the father except through me.” That’s it. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Life: isn’t that what we need to experience? We need to live life to the fullest; don’t look back. We need to make the right decisions, the right choices, and the right way to live. If we stay committed to that, just think; this year could be different. Just a thought!
