How many of us are tired of the same old, same old? We wish for or want something different. That's why we look forward to the start of a new year. We think that the last year didn't go so well for us. The new year will offer a fresh start, a new beginning. It will be different this year.
Will it?
For it to be different, we need to be different. Can not keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome! The same can be said for days of the week. "Man, yesterday wasn't very good." "Tomorrow will be better." Has to be! Or you get to the end of the month, and think, "How did I ever survive that?" A new month will bring better things.
Will it??
I personally know of a fresh start and a new beginning that will definitely will bring change. When we accept Jesus into our lives. We WILL be different from that point on.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Living Bible
17 When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!
Jesus gives us that fresh start. A chance to start over, with Him. A whole new life awaits those who believe in Him! I know that I was one way before Jesus and now I am a different person.
Isaiah 60:1 Amplified Bible
60 “Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, And the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you.
People keep hanging onto things that they know. That are comfortable to them. Things that don't satisfy or bring joy or happiness.
Jesus is the change. He wants us too leave all of our baggage behind (past hurts, addictions, life style) and begin our new life. In Him!
Philippians 3:13-14 New Living Translation
13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it,[a] but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
I encourage you. It's not to late to start a new life in Christ. You will not be sorry that you did!
