CHANGE COMES WITH A PRICE,.... SUBMIT TO HIS WILL

With the new year just around the corner, many people are thinking about New Year’s resolutions. An article I read recently listed the top 5 New Year’s Resolutions:

#5: stop smoking #4: make more money #3: improve relationships #2: exercise more #1 most popular New Years resolution… losing weight.

All these resolutions are saying one thing--I want to be different than I am right now. I want to gain control of my life. And, if I could just get control of my life… I could be truly happy. I could be a new person. The problem, of course with New Year’s resolutions… they are rarely effective. Somewhere along the line, our resolve to keep those resolutions gets buried under the pressure of time and our own lack of will power.

Now Jesus has something to say about change - about becoming new inside. Jesus said: “Behold, I make all things new….” Revelation 21:5. Jesus gives us the power to change. The power to become a new creation, AND that power of change begins when we first become Christians. It's up to us, we have to open our hearts and minds to Him, for in Him all things are possible.
