You’ve probably seen or heard that one a lot over the years. I know I have. It’s a cute idea, but really, the calendar isn’t magical. Why wait until January to make changes? And are you really new because of this changes?
If you’re looking for a new you, I know a great way to accomplish that: Jesus! 1 Peter 1:23 tells us that through Christ we are born again, a brand new creation in Him. The thing to remember is that this is a spiritual birth. Your past will still be dragging behind you like a trailer and a lot of folks will be all too happy to remind you about it.
Don’t let that past drag you down. And if it catches you, don’t wait a whole year to fix things. Every day is a fresh start. Go out there and…
—Rise Up!!
