Into a New Year

As we begin a new year, it's common to reflect on the last one, often looking to see what we need to do differently in the coming one. The hope is that the new year will be better than the last. As Christians, we need to assess our faith. How much have you been influenced by God, His Word, and His truths in your daily life? Do you live your life always conscious of God and His will, wanting to please Him? Do you make Him your first priority, far above everything else?

Christianity is the only religion I know that offers believers as many new starts as they need to get it right. We just need to recognize our failings and repent before God. His grace is free, and we don't have to do anything to earn it. What Christ did on the cross cleanses us, nothing we do can.

So as we begin 2024, let's make this the best year yet by turning to God completely, totally surrendering to Him, and letting Him have His way with our lives. This is the secret to living the best year ever. It is freeing and brings peace and contentment, no matter the situations or chaos around us. It's what we all need.
