All
Things New
If then we say that all things are made new in this
New Year, what do we mean?
Will our faith, hope and love be new – re-born at the
stroke of midnight? Are we new…in our resolve to love Him, to take up our cross
and follow Him, to fight the good fight, and to move on in our journey to the
prize – our citizenship in His Kingdom?
Are we, as it is said in the world of men, new and improved?
Will our passage from one year to the next be a
benchmark upon which we will look back and exclaim, “That was the moment I
truly believed…the moment when I took up the mantle and stepped into a new life
of love and service to Him and to others!”
Or, with the chime of the hour will we merely pass
from one day into another without change or alteration…to continue as if there
is no significance at all to this moment?
Man has made sundials, clocks and calendars to track
the swift movement of the sun and constellations across the heavens…to measure
out the days of life.
Do we stand at a threshold of a new thing? Do we
choose to love Him with all our heart, all our soul, all our strength and our
mind…and to love our neighbors as ourselves?
Or…do we continue unchanged with business as usual?
Here’s to the happiest of New Year’s…the choice is
ours to make.
