OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

Happy New Year!!!  Wow, it's hard to believe it's already 2012. 

The start of a new year is always exciting isn't it?  It seems everyone is ready for a fresh start.  We are ready to get back to a somewhat normal life after the holidays.  We are waiting with anticipation the events that the new year will bring (well, that is besides another birthday, if you happen to be middle aged like me, LOL).  We look forward to a new Spring and a new Summer and we often look forward to making some much needed changes in the new year to come.  The past is behind us and the future straight ahead.  There once again seems to be hope for a new beginning. A fresh start.  You know, out with the old and in with the new...




As I thought about that this morning, I thought about Jesus.  He's kind of like a new year.  He is a new beginning.  A fresh start.  He can take an old life and make it new again.

Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
all things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
                                          2 Corin. 5:17

No matter what happened in the past, you CAN have a new, fresh and bright future.  Maybe life hasn't turned out the way you planned.  Maybe you have made some mistakes or done some things wrong.  We ALL have and it's okay.

For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
                                           Romans 3:23


However, if you are ready for a fresh start, a new beginning; if you are tired of making the same decisions and mistakes over and over again, why not let Jesus help.  He's offering to YOU a new beginning.  You CAN have a "new" life and 2012 could be the best year you have ever had.

It all starts simply with being born again, again into a new life, as the scriptures teach.  Jesus told Nicodemus in John chapter 3 what being born again entails; saying, you MUST be born again of the water and the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of heaven.  To find out more about the "water" and the "Spirit" and this new life experience, click on over to my online bible study page HERE.

Once you have finished the bible study, stop back by here and leave me a comment.  I can help you find the right place to go so that you can EXPERIENCE being born again for yourself.

I know it works, because it worked for me and I've never regreted one minute of my new life.  So, if you are unhappy with even the tiniest part of your life, how about stepping out of the old, and in to the new. The new YOU.   It IS possible to have a BRIGHT future and a...




 Let Jesus make 2012 one Happy New Year!!
