Resolutions

It's the time of year when we think of what we want to change in our lives, how we want to make it better.  This piece is taken from the 2011 edition of Our Daily Bread...

What if we asked God what He wants to change, improve or begin this year?  Perhaps he would tell us to:

• Demonstrate more of the fruits of the spirit in your life, which are "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control" (Gal. 5:22-23)
• Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute you (Matt. 5:44)
• Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15)
• Be content with such things as you have (Heb. 13:5)
• Walk according to His commandments (2 John 1:6)

May you have a blessed day
