PAID IN FULL

A new year, a new day, and a new everything so we all say! But it's easier said than done. We all make promises to ourselves that we rarely ever keep. And for what? I want to start the year off on a positive note so I wont rant and rave too much in this post. But the purpose today is to get us all to reflect. Well you don't have to, but I will.

Think about everything you went through this past year. What were you worrying about January 1, 2009? Did everything eventually work itself out? Was there even a need to worry? Whether we knew it or not, what was going to happen was going to happen...Doesn't matter if it was a failure or a triumph or if you worked extra hard or barely lifted a finger. Actually there was no need to worry at all. Everything was already set in stone and if it was a failure know that it was probably for the best to teach you. If it was a triumph know that there is now more required of you.

2010 should be the year we all have more FAITH! With all that has taken place in 2009, if there are those who still don't believe then I feel sorry for them. GOD is in charge and he is REAL! All we have to do is follow his lead. Everything is already drawn out. He already sent his son to pay the price. That is one promise that will surely be kept. All we have to do is ENDURE the trial! And yes, people will talk about you, yes they will condemn you, call you names, laugh at you, lie on you, hang you on the cross and leave you, betray you, persecute you, deceive you...but at the end of the day....IT'S ALL PAID IN FULL. We just need to endure to the end. ENDURE!!!

I tell myself everyday that if they did it to Jesus Christ they will definitely do it to me...who am I? So this year I will bear my cross and I will carry it down the path that he has set for me regardless of the trials that may come. I will not stop and MY FAITH WILL NOT FALTER! If he brought me to it...he will bring me through it!

Most of us know what we need to do and what we should do we just don't do it. We see the path and think its too hard or impossible. So we run around in circles like the children of Israel lost in the wilderness for 40 years when it doesn't have to be that way. If Jesus did it...so can you! So bear the cross because there is life in the end and your reward will be waiting.

All the resolutions in the world mean nothing if you don't believe. You'd be surprised at what just a little bit of faith can do! :-)

BELIEVE!
