I love New Year’s Day!
I know New Year’s just another day on the calendar, but it feels like a pause in the cycle of life, a fresh new start. All my mistakes, my failures, of the past year are just that – in the past. The future is an empty canvas ready to be filled with hopes and dreams and new adventures. Today I get a new beginning!
The neat thing about being one of God’s children is every day is New Year’s, a new beginning! No matter how badly I’ve screwed up, no matter how disgusting my sin, my God loves me. 1 John 1:9, promises, “if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins…”
And it doesn’t end there! God doesn’t just forgive our sins, but will also “…cleanse us from all wickedness.” In fact, God promises in 1 Corinthians 5:17, “that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person.” We get a new start! A new beginning! “The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”
This New Year’s Day, start your year out right. Give Jesus your heart and get a brand new start!
God bless and have a great 2019!
