Friends, we are launched into the New Year; however for some of us the first enthusiasm for positive change has begun to slip. “Why did I ever think that positive change was a good idea?” “I don’t see other people “changing” to help me out. It is certainly more comfortable to keep on in my old ways – those easier ways.” This is the very moment, when we hear this defeating self-talk, to do whatever is necessary to get a new mindset for this great New Year. Romans 12:2 says, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (New Living Translation) We are the ones who have the God enabling power to get a new perspective or mindset for those areas where change is needed. This is such a great time to press on, to forget what lies behind and to move toward what lies ahead. We can make those positive changes with God’s help. Just because it is hard or because progress seems difficult, don’t lose sight of the huge blessing of positive change in your life and for those around you. Choose this wonderful mindset: “God is at work and together we will make positive changes in my life for my world.” This mindset and positive point of view will make a terrific difference in our lives. Blessings on the way!
