midst of confusion
It’s the new year! It’s a new start!
One more year behind us.
One more year till we reach that “something”.
One more year we got through.
One more year…
I’m never really that excited for New Years.
When ever we go into the new year, I don’t feel nostalgic, and I don’t feel fresh and new…instead, I just feel like it’s another day. Because that’s what it is. Another day.
My heart doesn’t feel rejuvenated, and my soul doesn’t feel excited. I just feel like I’m living another day in the life. Not to be pessimistic or anything. But imagine this: we have no calendars. No clocks, no timers, no nothing. Just the sun to keep the time. How on earth would we know whether or not it was a new year? How would we know how old we are? How would we know how much time we think we have left?
We have to live each day by itself, never saying “Oh, I’ll do this next time” or “That’s a good thing that I’ll do next year”. It has to be instant. Because no matter what people say, no day – no minute – no moment on this earth is guaranteed. I’m not saying that to be pessimistic, either; it’s real, it’s scary, and it’s unknown. I even have doubts about what will be there in the future, after this life ends…
All I’m trying to say is that we should have a little faith in today. Make today your best day ever. Make this moment the best one. Say something you’ve always wanted to say. Do something you’ve always wanted to do. Be the person you’ve always wanted to be. If you live each second like it’s your last, you’d be amazed at how much you could accomplish.
Now, I’m not saying go crazy or anything. Make sure it’s all in good taste. Keep it classy.
And remember: everyday you have the opportunity to have a fresh start. You can be washed in Jesus’ blood and made clean again. You have that choice, every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
