JANUARY,
the transitional month.
The NEW Year.
The NEW Beginning.
The NEW Chances.
The
LIFE IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT
Month.
Then the days tick by
as the remnants of Christmas are packaged away
& then
nothing has really changed, except the weather,
as it gets colder and warmer, as it can't make up its mind.
The diet and the exercise becomes a roller coaster ride.
The
I will never do this again & I will never do that again,
never seems to happen.
JANUARY
will then spill into
February
& excitement will build
as the 40th day before Easter will arrive
bringing hope ,
because
things will change & things will be different
once Easter arrives.
But
does the day ever arrive
when things really change,
when things are really different,
when you really live as one who is different?
Is it about a day, month or time of year
or is it about right now~
this moment
no matter what time of year of it is?
Can you & I
not look upon the seasons or a date on the calendar for things to change?
Can we just be
DIFFERENTLY CHANGED
right where we are,
whether our toes are in snow boots or barefoot in the sand,
because we
KNOW that
just knowing that
JESUS is in the snow,
JESUS is in the sand,
because
JESUS is where you are
and that will never change,
but HE will change you.
JESUS
isn't just a month.
JESUS
isn't just a season.
JESUS
isn't just a Sunday,
because
JESUS IS.
HE makes you NEW~
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
So
do you want to begin
JANUARY
as one who is
DIFFERENTLY CHANGED,
even though
the people, places & things around you
are still the same.
Are you waiting for
_________ to change
or for
___________ to be the answer
or once __________ happens then
you can really enjoy your life?
But what if right now
"we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.."*
So instead we look beyond
RESOLUTIONS
and
"Fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,
since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal"
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18).
What could you do in this SECOND that you are living in right now?
If it is a great SECOND then it can be a greater SECOND,
IN CHRIST.
If it isn't a great SECOND then it can be a greater SECOND,
IN CHRIST.
Just what if we all took a breath and looked up
into the eyes of the
ONE
who has so much for each one of us
in every
NEW SECOND,
and that makes
every
SECOND
a greater SECOND
because
JESUS is the ONE
who CHANGES everything.
And HE begins with CHANGING you.
Because
JESUS is MORE THAN A RESOLUTION,
because
HE
is the ONE
who makes you
"DIFFERENT"
