New Day, New Year?

People think that 2015, a new year, is supposed to confer on them some kind of ability to be different or better. So they say things like 'next year, I'll be this and do this'. They forget that it's really not the new year but a new them that they require. You can choose to see it this way: every day is an opportunity to start afresh. Yes there's something sweet about a new year-change of date, another birthday, a step closer to one's dreams, a new leader- that springs hope.
I'll rather you choose to believe in the power of one. If you can't appreciate one day, you can't appreciate one year. There's even something more powerful than a new year: a new day. I came to appreciate it more when my dad slept. The pain became more bearable as days passed, I began to look forward to the morning. Indeed weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning (Psalms 30:5). I thank God he made the evening then the morning, the next day. So as you step into this new year, take it one day at a time. Evaluate life daily, live purpose daily, correct your mistake daily, grow daily, get better daily. Remember that the only thing new about next year is in your hand.
