NEW YEARS CHALLENGE

We are just about to begin a New year. What does this mean for you? For some of you it will mean new resolutions that you can't keep. And for others, it will mean resolutions that you will keep. Either way, we all have something within us that desires change. We all want something different in life... and for some of you you're right where you want to be and you're completely happy with your life. GOOD FOR YOU. I mean that... that's great! There aren't many people in this world that are happy with where they are in life and so, Congrats to you if you have managed to achieve your goals. For the rest of you restless souls, I want to challenge you for the new year. I want you to take a look at your lives and truly evaluate it. Are you fulfilled? Are you where you should be at this stage in your life? What is it that makes you 'tick'? Regardless of how well off you might be, do you always want more? Are you never satisfied with life? Come on people, REALLY look at your lives and be honest with yourselves. Are you always trying to fill your life with meaning by using drugs, having sex, drinking... many other things that just won't bring your life real meaning?Again, my challenge to you is to look at your pathetic lives... mine included... because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a hope and peace and a love that will bring the ultimate meaning to your lives. His name is Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. I know you're probably rolling your eyes right now and if you're still reading, thank you. That means that you are a very wise person and are seeking truth and meaning for your lives. So, back to my challenge: As you've probably guessed, the first part of it is to examine your lives. Use the above questions if you have to. Search your hearts to see where you draw your hope and meaning from and evaluate it to see if it really means anything. The Second part of my challenge to you for the New Year is to examine and TRULY evaluate who Jesus was and what He means and what He could mean to you. He will change your life. He will bring you hope. He has a plan for you that He wants to fulfill in and through you. So, if you dare, find someone you know who is a strong born again Christian, or if you don't know someone, seek them out, talk to them and get some answers. See for yourselves the meaning that Christ will bring to your lives. He never promised an easy life and never having hard times in life... but what He does promise is that He will be with you to the very end!
