Thoughtful Words For The New Year Will this year be a repeat of the same old habits, making the
same old mistakes, same old discontentment's? Or will this
New Year bring to you a fresh change in your habits, brand
new and wonderful experiences and satisfaction in your heart?
Our lives are comprised of numerous adventures
and this year we can plan these adventures in faith. Righteousness, right standing with God, only comes through
our faith in the completed work of Christ. When Jesus was
crucified on the cross and died for our sins, He became sin for
us, and the punishment that would have come to us for our sins
were placed on Him. The Righteousness that we obtain is
through faith in Him not of our own works.
We accept that Jesus bore our sins and our sicknesses that
through Him we are forgiven of all of our wrong and healed
from all our diseases. We can boldly come unto the throne
of Grace to find help in our time of need
(Hebrews 4:16).
Boldly because we are righteous, not of ourselves but our
righteousness is the righteousness of Christ. Our faith in Him
and all that He has already done for us is our opportunity to
freely receive all that He freely gives to us.
It is more blessed to give than to receive. It is extremely
wonderful to be a receptor of his goodness, mercy and grace.
How much more will blessings come to us if we freely give
this Love to others. It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Our part is to receive the blessings of God, and to
receive these blessing we must decide to follow His way and
allow it to be shown through our lives, our choices, and our commitments to follow His teachings.
Live righteously this year. Live a life that is worthy of the righteousness that has covered you. Following His will and
His way will bring untold blessings that will unfold before you throughout all of your life. Walking according to His will and
being committed to His way will allow the blessings of God to
come upon you and over take you as you walk in right paths. Commitment with consistency is the secret to this new life.
"Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that I will have
a heart more open to hear your voice and sensitive enough to
know the needs of others and help them. I pray that I will have
a renewed mind and a receptive spirit to do your will that I will
be more ready to follow your cause and live a chaste life that I
will be a worthy temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
