Why do we celebrate a new year? Perhaps it’s a chance to have a fresh start, make reforms or resolutions, or to set new goals. While these opportunities are real, they can be seized all year round!
As Christians, we are called by God to live for Him. This calling is for our whole lives, that means all the time in everything! To quote Romans 12:1-2, "1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." I encourage you to do this in 2018 and beyond. Prayerfully give yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ in every way, every day!
It has been a blessing to share encouragements in Christ this past fall. In prayerfully thinking through 2018, I am going to focus energy elsewhere. Perhaps I will write again in the future. :) Thank you for reading, and may you have a blessed new year being built up in Christ!
