Change~
isn't that what the New Year is about~
Out with the old, in with the new~
because the old isn't who I & who you don't want to be anymore.
If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?
Or better yet~
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOURSELF IF YOU WERE A WORD IN THE DICTIONARY, USING ONLY ONE WORD?
Would it be~
Fearless~
The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1
Would it be
blessed~
Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in HIM. Psalm 34:8
Would it be
Hopeful~
...but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
Would it be
Peaceful~
Cast all your anxiety on HIM because HE cares for you. I Peter 5:7
Would it be
Forgiven~
If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9
Would it be
Loved~
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; HIS mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR DEFINING WORD TO BE?
Well, just look up Your Name,
but not in the Dictionary~
Instead, look it up in
THE BOOK
that was written for you by the
ONE
Who tells you who you are over & over & over again,
and you don't have to make it a resolution
because
IN HIM
we are so much more than we could ever be on our own
because
IN HIM
we are
HIS CHILD~
But to as many as did receive and welcome HIM,
HE gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of GOD,
that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on)
HIS name....
Not my name or your name
but because of
HIS NAME~
who were born, not of blood [natural conception],
nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse],
nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of
GOD [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—
they are born of GOD—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]. I John 1:12-13
So...
I ask you~
