2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
A new year beckons.
This year was the first year I spent in my adult years sleeping through the new year. I just needed some time off from the standard year end countdown in church, and spent some time jogging while sorting out my evaluation for the year and thoughts for the year ahead.
The year of 2011 has been amazing in terms of fulfilling personal secular needs, however in was a disaster in all things spiritual.
It's just a calendar change, but it is a new chance to retart everything with God's grace and strength. It will be a really tough year, but I'm hanging on to the simple statement that in Christ, the new is here.
