Starting a New Year - January 2, 2008

Good Morning! Today many of us begin the new working year, though it will probably seem little different from the old one. Jesus brought us the new covenant, and every moment we are renewed in Christ. Daily we ask for forgiveness, and daily God lifts us up and puts aside the sins from before, even the ones we bring up over and over. Starting a new year is a good time to put aside the sins of the past. We should learn from them and desire to never sin again, but forget the guilt and shame. Those sins are forgiven.

You will notice that this was dispatched at the regular time this morning, and yes, I too will be returning to work today. There is much to be grateful for at the dawning of this new year. Resolutions will occur and be put into action or discarded as we deem necessary, a new chapter will open in Bible study next week, and there will be someone new in our lives. Somewhere and at some time during this year, a new person or persons will come into our lives. What shall we tell them by our actions and words? At the very least, I want he or she to know that my life has been given over to Christ. I think a good start will be in a friendly greeting each morning. I know this can be difficult at work, but that is one good resolution for this new year. I bet keeping that one will help me as much as it does the other person.

May God keep you in His love this new day!
