New Year's Resolution

From: The Upper Room Daily Devotional

Colossians 3:17 "And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

The Bible tells us that while we are here our time is to be spent making disciples for Jesus Christ and being His witnesses, loving one another, praising God in all ways possible, laughing, living in peace, and doing good.

How many days have I wasted in complaining, demanding my own way, withholding love and goodness? How many hours have gone by while I wallowed in self-pity, plotted revenge, or pushed others aside to be in first place?

I cannot go back and retrieve those lost days and hours, but I can make the most of this day and every day that I have from now on.
