New Year

So it's a new year guys and, to most, this is a chance to start anew. I just want to encourage you guys that our God is the God of second chances. He forgives us and has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.

The Bible says that we are a new creation through Christ; that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Basically, we have that new start.

I want you guys to take the cliche view of the new year and make it mean something to you. Let it sink in that, rather than just being excited about the fact that 'maybe things will be different this year,' you can KNOW that things will be different. You really do get a new start.

You get this chance to look back on the last year, reflect on it all, and give it up to Him. Let Him take it, forgive you of it, and move on. Live your life with your eyes on Him and I promise you that this new start will be the last one you need.

And take heart! Because He really is the God of second chances. He loves us enough that, no matter how many times we fail, He still forgives.

Love you guys!
