Each day, when we sleep, we are renewed. As we are renewed for a new day, we have hope for that day. It is funny how that works. It is the New Year and there is hope again that things will work out. We are hoping against hope for a different result. I like the cartoons in the newspaper. I was reading one that talked about resolutions. It was making fun about people making new year resolutions. Do you know the definition of insanity? It is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Do you know why new year resolutions never work? Because we are unwilling to change to make it happen. Change is the key word here. We have to change to acquire different results. A new vision for the new year means that we will change and this brings new hope. It is important that we are wanting and willing to change for the better. I am not making fun of the wanting to change. I am making fun of the willingness to change. It is a struggle that we must all face. The only constant in this world is change. It is how we get from one place to another. God is the God of the second chance. Where we can have hope that things will change for the better. We can get a new vision of the kingdom of heaven and have hope for the future. Because it is God that designed us to be renewed each day that we would have hope for our future. I wish and pray for hope in your life and with the hope in God a blessed new year.
