An Unbreakable Resolution


Well, it's the beginning of a new year, and I can almost hear the sound of resolutions being made and broken already. I am guilty of making some this year, but not the typical "I am gonna lose weight" type of resolutions. I am making a resolution to take the next step in my faith, and deepening my commitment to follow Jesus. As I was deciding this, I started thinking about resolutions and how temporary they are... then I realized there is one resolution a person can make that can never be taken back or broken - the resolution to begin a relationship with God through belief in Jesus.

God's intention is for us to be in relationship with Him. In the beginning, God created a song, a rhythm. Humanity existed in harmony with God, with ourselves, and with each other. But then humankind settled for another song‐‐a lesser one‐‐and the rhythm started falling apart. Yet even then, God didn’t walk away, and because of that, we have a way to restore the rhythm with Him, with ourselves, and with others. Will you make a New Year's Resolution to get back into rhythm with God, and dance to the song that He wrote specifically for you?
