Jesus has come; what now? Our Savior has come. Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem and Jesus was born. We spent the last two days celebrating Christ’s birthday and giving Jesus and those we love gifts.
Today, the day after seems like it should be our New Year. Because today should be different. special. What should we do today? What resolutions should we make?
Pray: We need to recommit ourselves to praying daily! And not just asking God for His Mercy or Help, but really spending time with our Lord. Just as we would spend time with a friend telling them about our day and listening to them!
Read the Bible: There is only one way to know for sure the story of God. It’s by reading God’s Word. God gave us so much. The history of our world, guidance for living out our lives and real hope for the future! We need to recommit ourselves to knowing God’s Truth (there is only one Truth )! And we need to read it every day!
Follow Jesus: Jesus left a roadmap for Following Him. He left guidelines on everyday living and He left a Hope for the Future, a Hope that we can count on.
Share Jesus, with others. Even if it is just by being extra kind. We need to let those we meet or see each day remember how nice it is to meet a person who Follows Jesus and wonder why that is. Maybe, just maybe, they will one day become Christians themselves :).
Call upon the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit to give us the Gift of Faith. For Great Faith is just that, a Gift!
And we can love each other as Jesus loved us!
