New Year's Resolution

Hello my name is Jasper, Praise the Lord!

Well soon it will be a new year. As the new year approaches I think of things of the previous year and I feel even more blessed to still be here. I wonder how many people think about what a blessing it is to be here, to see a new year. Every year you could hear people talk about New Year's resolutions- some vow to lose weight (that's a popular one), they vow to move up on their jobs, or they vow to get a new car, and they vow to reach other goals that are material. But how many people vow a resolution to get closer to God? Make a resolution to change your life on a more spiritual level. How many people vow that they are going to read the bible more often and to live God's word? How many people vow a resolution that they are going to love people more than they have before? The Lord said "Don't set your sights on material things, but rather look towards those things that are in Heaven". Make a vow to get in touch with the Jesus Spirit that lives inside of you. Make a vow to research the Lord Jesus and what He stood for. Those that believe that He is the Son of God, that He came to Earth wrapped in mortal flesh, did supernatural things such as raise the dead, heal the sick, made the blind see, and other wonderful things for people. How many believe that He took on our sins and all our sicknesses and, most importantly, He shed his blood for us, that we may have a right to everlasting life. He died so that we may have life and have it more abundantly. We did not deserve such an honor, but He did it out of love for us. Don't you think you should make a New Year's resolution to get to know more about a man like that? We live only because He died for us. I think people should vow to get closer to the Lord and you can only do that by reading his word. It's not about what family you came from, your race, what you believe in, it's not about your money or your social position, but it's about Him. Our lives exist only because of His love for us. Learn to love Him and you can only do that by learning His word, what it stands for, and vow to live it. That should be everyone's New Year's resolution. That's just my opinion.

Again my name is Jasper, and Glory to the Lord. Happy New Year!
