HAPPY NEW YEAR

Nothing changed. There was no aha moment. No break in time when time stopped for a brief moment. It didn’t happen and we move from one day to the next. Night changes to morning as the second hand sweeps past the twelve. That is how it is every night of every day of every year. And New Years Eve changes to New Years Day without a disruption in time. It is a millisecond following another millisecond.
It is only in our minds that something magical happens. Something happens at that precise moment as the clock strikes twelve, when we put behind us all that has gone on for 365 days and turn our face forward.
A new year with all it’s hopes and dreams. This coming year will be an amazing year that we are already creating within our minds. It is shaped by circumstances but more importantly by all the people we know, love and cherish.
Each and every one of us looks with anticipation to a wonderful, love-filled year of accomplishments and fulfillment of visions and dreams. The optimism looks down the road of time and dreams big dreams, possessing a desire to fulfill all that they feel God wants them to be involved in and to accomplish. It’s exciting!
Each of us hopes for an amazing year. Something so spectacular, word cannot describe it, neither can our mind conceive. The bible says it better then I can: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9
And there in lies the truth. A life totally enveloped in the love of God. Our lives live for Him and each day becomes more then just another day with different stuff. Over the last few weeks I have been haunted by the words of a song sung in the movie, Sister Act. Words that I will seek to live out this coming year.
“We will follow Him, Follow Him wherever He may go, There isn't an ocean too deep, A mountain so high it can keep, Keep us away, away from His love . . . I will follow Him.”
In Mark 2 Jesus asks Matthew to, “follow me.” There is no other person under heaven that we can follow. No other person who is not only our master but he is the Lord of our lives.
In 2011, God will remind us over and over again of the last words of His Son to His disciples as found in Matt 28. He said, “go . . . unto all the world.” He showed us how to do it, He lead us in the way we are to go and He is sending us into a new year. He is sending us out to let the whole world know that Jesus saves.
Something to think about
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
