Borrowing a song title from the great Bob Seger, "Turn The Page". We are in the last days of 2024. 2025 is just around the corner. As you're getting ready to turn the page from '24 to '25, what do you want? What do you hope happens in this new year. To me, I pray that I have a better year than last year. Not that last year was bad, just always wanting to get better or improve!
So here comes 2025. What do you want to see happen, or take place. How do you want it to be different than this past year? What do you want to do differently?
Do you want to draw closer to God? Have a more intimate relationship with Him? That is always a good thing to strive for!
James 4:8 Living Bible
8 And when you draw close to God, God will draw close to you.
Do you want to read your Bible more? Really dig into it and study it. Learn more about God & Jesus. That is another good goal.
2 Timothy 3:16 New Living Translation
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
Do you want to love more boldly? Be more compassionate toward others? Show more grace and mercy? I always strive for this. I can always do better at showing people love & forgiveness. Be less judgmental!
Ephesians 4:32 Amplified Bible
32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you.
I could go on and on, but I think that you get the idea. As we start the New Year, let's put God first, in everything that we do. How we treat people. How we go about our work. Let's give back when we can.
Let this be our greatest year yet in showing Jesus to people. A world that desperately needs a Savior! Let's show the world by our actions that we are Christ followers.
John 13:35 The Voice
35 Everyone will know you as My followers if you demonstrate your love to others.
This is my greatest goal for this year.
God bless.
Rev. Kev.
