New Year’s resolutions
“Old things have passed
away; behold, all things have
become new” (2 Corinthians
5:17)
Many people do different
kinds of resolution for their
New Year. However, we as
Christians should have a
superior one. We need to
start doing self-evaluation
and to do it on an ongoing
basis to bring our lives back
to God who allowed us to
start anew. As Christians,
we need to get connected
daily with the source of life;
not only at the beginning
and at the end of the day but
also throughout the day. We
should take time every day
to pray and read the Holy
Scripture, and other spiritual
writings. It is important, by
God’s power, to apply what
we read into our life. We have
to practice forgiveness daily
and ask God’s forgiveness.
Life in Christ has its own
flavor to whoever tastes
it. Everyday, we should do
some acts of kindness. As
children of God, we should
do something special for the
people who cross our paths.
When we remember our
ultimate home is in heaven
can help us live life better.
We will become instruments
in God’s hands, shining forth
His light of love to the world
around us.
God’s saints were faithful
to God’s commandments.
They loved God and His
creation. Spiritual progress
depends on how we show
our love for God by showing
love to others, especially
to the less fortunate. If we
make this our central New
Year’s resolutions, then we
will journey on an exciting
path of change to reach
40
spiritual goal. If we truly want
to better our lives, then we
have to first discover what
is the main purpose in our
lives. If we have sincerely
experienced
Christ’s
importance in our lives, we
should not just return to our
normal routine of life and our
typical schedule. We need to
invite Him to be born anew
in our hearts and lives, no
one can enter the new year
the same! The purpose of
resolutions basically is to
improve one’s life. May the
New Year bring happiness
and success.
