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.
