Today most of the people everywhere are gathering together to celebrate-
The first bright moments of the New Year--2014!
Yet, for some others, New Year may serve only as a dim reminder of
loneliness and loss. It will simply mark the beginning of another year
of failure and frustration.
What about you? What's this year really going to be like for you?
You may appear to be happy enough! You may be passing out seasonal
smiles and holiday greetings just like everybody else. But inside- Are
you bruised...broken...bleeding...? You may even feel like you can't go
on.
If so- I want you to know something. All of that can change in an
instant. You can start your life over today and make this New Year's
Day- The most joyful day of your life!
How many times have you said to yourself, "If I could just start over,
I'd do it all differently?"
That doesn't have to be simply an idle wish. Jesus Christ has actually
made it possible. That's His Christmas present to you. He paid the
price for all your sins. He paid the penalty for all your mistakes.
That's the reason He came to earth. That's the reason He was born--so
you could start over!
You may look at your life and say, "But I've made some terrible
mistakes. I've done some despicable things." Jesus paid the price for
them all!
How can you make a new start? Just tell Him: "Lord Jesus, I'm turning
my life over to You. From this day forward I'm Yours."
What better time to turn your life around on this first day of the
New Year. Right now, wherever you are, just give your life to Jesus.
Then jump up and down and holler, "Praise God, I'm starting all over!"
And find out what it really means to have a Happy New Year!
Be blessed in 2014!
