So it's a new year. I'm not sure if you are a fan of New Year's resolutions. I personally am. I like the idea of kicking things off at the start of a new calendar year, setting some goals to pursue over the next year.
But let me offer something to consider whether you are a fan of these resolutions or not. What about the end goals of not just 2013, but 2014, 2015, and the rest of the years you are given? When you and I breathe our final breath, God will not ask about us accomplishing our 'goals' (saving more money, getting in shape, visiting family more), but He will ask us about love. However if we carry out all of our goals with the ultimate end of loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, we can honor Him whatever our short-term goals might be (as long as they are moral/ethical of course).
Keep this verse in mind as you look to 2013.
"The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love".
- Galatians 5:6b
- tC
