A new year begins

I use to join the club every new year and make new year's resolutions. Then I began to see the famous trend in me of not being able to keep them.
I pondered the reason why I usually end up not keeping them: they were just promises I made to myself to be better at something.
I was challenged by the Holy Spirit to do differently.  I now ask God  to make me into the person He wanted me to be. That He would fulfill all that He has for me in the coming new year. I have to say that I was more at peace after I started to be do that. I didn't have to make things happen. I didn't have to fight myself to be better. I just allowed God to teach me and mold me and guide me. The changes came as I focused on Him.
I challenge you to do the same this coming new year. God is awesome and getting to know Him is abundant life indeed.
Have a blessed and prosperous new year. I pray you allow God to mold you into the person He wants you to be.

2016 ends

As the end of the year comes so quickly, I think back on why I started this blog. I love to write. Always did.
I don't have much followers, but I will write because it is what I love to do.
I also love talking about God's faithfulness in my life in hopes that someone is ministered to by it. He is the reason for my living and the reason for the Christmas season. He came to bring everlasting and abundant life.
We can still receive this gift.  He has been waiting. Join me in living the abundant life He died to give us.

His Invitation

Jesus showed and explained in many ways His great invitation to us. He invites us to accept the great life that he died on the cross for us to have. In Matthew he gently tells us to 'come to Him.'
The only way we will know personally what Christ is offering us is to accept His invitation and go to Him.
Going to Him is more than just going to church. That is a good start. Going to Him involves our whole mind and our whole heart. We cannot go half heartedly, because we will not fully experience life with Him.
Let us go to Him. Initially for the forgiveness of sin, and then every moment and everyday after that. He is waiting to take us on an amazing journey, and show us and teach us abundant life.
