A true new year begins with a decision: the decision to leave the old behind and start the new.

• A runner who stumbles doesn’t stop the race—they get up and keep going.
• A painter who makes a mistake doesn’t throw away the canvas—they turn it into something beautiful.
• A believer who faces challenges doesn’t give up—they trust that God is working on their behalf.

God loves new beginnings. He specializes in turning pages and starting fresh chapters. Just as He promises:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

This year doesn’t have to be like the last. Whatever didn’t work, whatever held you back, let it go. God is ready to make all things new in your life—your spiritual life, your health, and your family in all areas of your life.

So, step boldly into this new year with faith. Act with courage, and trust God to do what only He can do.

Happy New Year! May it be filled with joy, transformation, and God’s blessings.

May the God of the Bible bless you!
