Happy New Year. I have read that in some cultures the front door is opened at midnight on December 31st to let out the old year and welcome in the new one. After all I’ve been through in 2022, I thought about opening every door and window last night to make sure it is gone. Time marches on.
.As a boy, I was told that the only sure things in life are death and taxes. As a Christian, I have found several constants in my life. God’s love, mercy and grace are endless, but so is change. When times are tough, we can be sure there will be a change for the better. We need to remember to thank God when things are good, because they can change for the worse.
I no longer make New Year’s Resolutions. Instead, I pray that God’s Will be done throughout the new year. His resolve will take me all the way through the year and beyond. It is liberating to rely on Him to open new doors for me instead of straining with them myself.
I hope and pray that this brief post encourages you to let go and let God in this coming year. He can, and will, open doors you didn’t even know existed. Love, peace and joy to each of you reading this.
