As we close out 2010 and enter into the New Year, let us recognize that we need not resolve to do anything except let God be in charge of what we want changed. Let us also realize that we do fail as humans. We fail all the time. We can see our faith falter during the storms of our lives. We can blame God instead of looking within. We can deny the power we know we have in Jesus. We can even be at rock bottom, staring at the clock, waiting for it to flick over to 12:00 AM, so that we can try again for a new start. Like T.S. Eliot reminds us though; that new start awaits a new voice from us. We cannot speak with last year's failures on our lips. We must trust that He is God and we can have another chance at things if we truly want it. If we truly believe it.
Happy New Year on January 1st.
Happy New Start whenever you want to go to God for it.
Reverend Anthony Wade December 29, 2010
