Ah, yes.
A new year. A time
to reflect on the past year in order to better ourselves. To continue
succeeding in our strong points and improve our weaknesses.
Why is it that the
new year brings about such a commitment to change, however short-lived it may
be?
Maybe it’s knowing that we have a clean slate, another chance at
living life extravagantly, rather than settling for another year of drab
mediocrity. After a long year of living within yourself and following the
crowd, this is the time to cut the apron strings that confine you to satisfying
the world’s expectations. Perhaps, instead of taking the pain silently, this
year is the time for standing up and fighting for your right to be heard.
This is the year for breaking our emotional walls and our
spiritual chains. Friends, our hearts have been dormant far too long. We are
made to run wild. Each January 1st, our hearts feel a little taste
of this freedom, this commitment, this connection. This is the reason we feel
the need to change for New Year’s.
Don’t be afraid to let your heart run wild.
It is, in fact, time.
2 Corinthians 5:17- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
