2016 may have carried some unfortunate situations but you can’t blame people or you’ll stay stuck there. We don’t get to pause life. We must press on to find people who are running their own race, pursuing Christ, looking to be transformed in the image of Jesus, and striving to finish it. This is a new year.
It’s time to make what Jesus has done for you bigger than what anyone has done to you or said about you.
It’s time to let go and move on. Lay into the promises of God written in his Word.
Whatever you have done, leave it at the foot of the Cross, make amends with the people you need to make amends with and then move on. His mercies are new every morning. God’s grace is sufficient. There’s nothing that can separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.
Love people. Share grace. Be the first to forgive. Drop the baggage and live for what it is to be free.
Stop doubting and start believing.
Start believing that your God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly and above anything you could ever ask, hope or think. Start believing that your eyes have not seen nor your ears have heard, nor has it entered into your heart the things that God has for you.
If your God is for us then who can be against us? Romans 8:31 ESV
Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. God is good, he does good, He works all things together for good. You are the head and not the tail. You are above only, and not beneath. You are a leader and not a follower. The blessings of God are leading and guiding, they are chasing you down. The goodness of God waits before you. Just look over your shoulder, a tender, loving kindness, goodness and mercy are following you. They are chasing you down wherever you are going. God is on your side. God is not mad at you. He’s mad about you. God is for you and He loves you.
Happy New Year and a New You!
