We all enjoy getting new things that are crisp, clear and colorful. What have you received that is new? Did you get some new clothes? Did you get a new book, gadget, or gizmo? Whenever we get something new, we anticipate and meditate on how the gift can benefit and bless us and others. We think of the various ways the gift can be utilized and actualized in making our lives more productive and enjoyable. That’s why this time of year people are so eager to make New Year’s resolutions. They desire and dream of what life can be like. They see a chance for a fresh start and new beginning. So what are you anticipating and meditating on as you consider 2012? How are you planning and strategizing to make 2012 more crisp, clean and colorful? What areas of your life need renovating and adjusting? What attitudes and actions are you aware of that desperately need changing? We all need improvements and an honest evaluation of where we are and how we got there. Therefore, with that in mind, I offer to you this one helpful and life-changing piece of advice – Do whatever is necessary to grow in your love relationship with Jesus Christ! Make your one goal this year to nurture and grow in your walk with God. Did you hear me? Do you understand? Do whatever it takes to make Jesus Christ the number one priority in your world. Because when you do that, everything else will fall and fit right into place. The Bible tells us clearly and plainly that if we seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, then He will make sure we have all we need. (Matt. 6:33) Life doesn’t have to be all that complicated. Whenever we make a major and significant decision, it simplifies life! A big decision keeps us from having to make all kinds of little decisions. If you decide to do whatever it takes to grow in your love relationship with the Lord, then you won’t have to decide if you’re going to be in God’s Word, be at God’s House, be in God’s Service, and be before Him in prayer. I’m trying to help you experience the best life possible. I’m trying to help you get in the flow of God’s goodness and grace on a daily basis. I’m trying to help you simplify your life. In the New Year do this one thing – Whatever it takes to grow in your personal relationship with Jesus Christ! I promise you that one decision will impact and influence every other area of your life for the good. When you make it your goal to honor the Lord, you open your life and all it touches to the supernatural favor and blessing of God! What unspeakable joy to know and experience God in and throughout 2012!
