A New Beginning

I am about 13 days late on the whole New Year thing, but better late than never. You can probably tell by my delay that I am not a big fan of New Years Resolutions. I gave up even making them, or at least jotting them down.

I would love to look back in 12 months and be skinnier, healthier, smarter and wiser, but honestly - I have enough trouble going day by day.

Do you make New Years Resolutions? Do you vow to begin brand new once the ball has dropped? Perhaps you even think about it in December, "It really doesn't matter what I do now, because I'll start all over in a month".

Well it is here! Actually it's been here for 13 days, but I've been way to busy to even notice.

I'm so glad that Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever. That means in 2009 and 2010 and even in 2020. He will still be Jesus! Constant, Unchanging and The Creator of all the Universe!

I've been remembering a lot the past few days of my beginning. That is the beginning of my walk with Jesus. I accepted Jesus into my heart at 8 years old. My brother was instrumental in leading me to Christ. It was at that point when I said, Jesus I want you to come into my heart. I want all of you. I believe He came and has been with me ever since.

There was another point, much further down the road (while I was in college) when my life again began a new. It was at this point at an altar at Circleville Bible College that I allowed Jesus to have ALL of me.

See I think as Christians we get the 2 confused in that we think they are the same. When I asked Jesus into my heart - He did that - He came into my heart, but I didn't give Him all of me. It took a little while later before I realized that I needed Him to control every part of my life, not just bits and pieces here and there.

So as we begin 2010 - have you had a new beginning in Christ? Have you given Him every area of your life? Start this new year different (or at least start day 13 different).

Allow Jesus to have ALL of you this year!
