A HAPPY NEW YEAR
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Today people everywhere are gathering together to celebrated the first bright moments of the New Year. Yet, for thousands of others, this day will be the toughest 24 hours of their lives. For those people, New Year's will serve only as a dim reminder of lonlienss and loss. It will simply mark the beginning of another year of failure. What about you? What's this year really going to be like for you?
You may appear to be happy enough. You may be passing out seasonal smiles and holiday greetings just like everybody else. But inside, you may hurt. You may be disappointed. You may even feel like youo can't go on. If so, I want you to know something. All of that can change in an instant. You can start you life over today and make this New Year's Day the most joyful day of your life!
How many times have you said to yourself, "If I could just start over, I'd do it all differently"? That doesn't have to be simply an idle wish. Jesus Christ has actually made it possible. That's His Christmas present to you. He paid the price for all of your sins. He paid the penalty for all of your mistakes. That's the reason He came to earth. That's the reason He was born - so you could start over!
You may look at your life and say, "But I've made some terrible mistakes. I've done some despicable things." That doesn't matter. Jesus paid the price for them all! How can you make a new start? Romans 10:9 says that "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." It's as easy as saying, "Jesus, I'm turning my life over to You. From this day froward I'm Yours."
What better time to turn your life around than on this first day of the New Year. Right now, whereever you are, just give your life to Jesus. Then jump up and down and holler, "Praise God, I'm starting all over!" And find out what it really means to have a Happy New Year!
