Today is the beginning of a new year, and like so many new undertakings it offers us a chance for a fresh start, and a new beginning. All those disappointments, and challenges, that nagged at us, or nipped at our heels last year can be left behind if we will only realize two things. The first is that God never withholds good things from us if we will lovingly obey Him, and walk righteously. The second is that in Jesus we are transformed, made new, and leave the old behind, therefore in Christ we have entered into a new year, and the old should be forgotten.
