"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." ~ Matthew 5:16
As Christian's I think we spend January in a state of confidence and excitement. Our resolutions if we have them range on "less me, More God", "I will follow his plan more", "Focus on Him more", etc.. But like all new year resolutions we start to fade in the weeks that follow.
Life gets hard. Time gets eaten up by the business of our schedules.
So we get discouraged and slowly stop shining.
Because society tells us if we fail it is not for us. That we are not meant to do it.
But that is not how God responds.
He is a God of second chances and new beginnings everyday.
“Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” ~Revelation 21:5
So let him do his work, for he is a God of new things.
Do not be discourage that by mid-January you have already "failed" in your own eyes.
Start again.
