ALL THINGS NEW
At the beginning of a new year, we often think of resolutions to make and changes we want the year to bring us. Then, about a month into it, we've most often given up because in our own strength we fall short of making true change. At best, we can only rehabilitate (re-habit) our actions. The truth is that only Jesus Christ can truly make anything new in our lives.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation;
old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Then He who sat on the throne said,
“Behold, I make all things new.”
And He said to me,
“Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
Revelation 21:5
So though it's no longer January 1st, there's still true hope for the change you need. You may or may not have already accepted the forgiveness Jesus has offered you in SALVATION. Invite Jesus into every area of your life and allow HIM to make the changes in you. He will make you whole in spirit, in soul & in body. He makes all things new.
All Things New!!
I CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE YOU
This new year for me has been one of renewed passion and dedication simply to who Jesus is. My heart has not been searching for a new, "deep revelation" of doctrine, per say, but really is drawing toward the basics of the first love that drew me to Christ. The simplicity of His presence in my life and how everything changes as a result of knowing and loving Him is superseding everything else. When I realize that Jesus really did finish the work on the cross and that He really did everything in order to make a relationship possible, I can just rest in His love knowing I don't have to perform or be good enough to deserve His love - I just have to accept it. Instead of focusing on how I don't measure up, I can focus on how He measured up and then I can really start living loved...
I can't help but love You and rest here in Your arms
I can't help but worship You for who You are
I can't help but seek You
You're the very breath I breathe
I can't help but love You, You're everything to me
I can't help but love You, Lord You have my heart
I can't help but worship my King, my All in All
I can't help but seek You as deep cries out to deep
I can't help but love you, You're everything to me
You washed every stain, took my sin away
You broke every chain
And made a way for me to know You
Now I stand amazed, chosen, with a new name
Enraptured by grace
And I can't help but love You
