New Year's resolutions
Time is an illusion created by God to give meaning to the simplified reality of man. We BELIEVE that twelve months is equal to a year and at the END of these twelve months a NEW YEAR begins. At the beginning of EACH New Year MANY of us make the decision to IMPROVE on the New Year, where as we might have failed in the Old Year to meet our targets, goals, dreams, hopes and changes.
Yet how IRONIC is it NOT to realize half-way through the New Year that we have failed yet once again to keep our New Year's resolutions. In fact we will KEEP on failing year in and year out to sustain our NEW YEAR'S resolutions....reason for this? As long as we rely on our OWN strength and in our HUMAN weaknesses to improve OR change our lives, we will KEEP on failing year after year.
A New Year's resolution is a phenomenon that is BASED on failure, irrespective of HOW we look at it. The ONLY way our New Year's resolution can succeed is to engage GOD in our hopes, dreams, desires, aspirations and achievements. In Romans 8:28 we read the following: "And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose." ONLY when we entrust our lives, presents and futures in GOD'S hands WILL we succeed.
A prosperous and blessed New Year to ALL my brothers and sisters in Christ and my Facebook Friends. Thank you for your faithful support in 2016.
