It's worth repeating that, "We tend to remember what we should forget and forget what we should remember." (Mark Batterson, blog)
Happy New Year!!
At the end of every year, most of us tend to reflect on the past year's accomplishments, failures, great moments, and painful memories. It's easy to relive each moment as if we were living in it once again. This can truly be both a blessing and a curse.
This year, I hope you will resolve to forget those things that need forgetting. Don't keep a list of every wrong that was done to you, every hurtful word, every argument. AND Don't keep a list of all your failures. Allow yourself to accept the past year for what it was, and walk in the blessing of a New Year, a new opportunity for God to work His purposes in your life, a new hope for the best year ever.
Also, resolve to remeber the important things. Most importantly, who you are in Christ. You are accepted, you are chosen, you are a saint, and you are dearly loved!! You are everything He has made you to be, and no less. You have a purpose and He can accomplish it through you. Don't forget to remember what Christ has done for you. His death gives you an all-access pass to the Father. That is definitely a relationship worth building in this new year!!
This year I hope you will forget what you should forget and remember what you should remember!!
Blessings!
