what does it matter?

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2

It's a new year, and i'm wondering, does it really matter? Will it make a difference?

For some it's a time to make resolutions... get in shape, improve a career path, restore a relationship, abstain for unhealthy habits, renew former commitments.
Or, maybe it's a time to forge a new path.
Or, maybe it's a fight to keep things the same. 
Or, maybe it's just another day, unmarked with no desires or dreams.

Do you wonder how God wants us to see it?  Our God of order and detail, took minute care in carving out time for us in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.

Just like everything He created in the universe, God designed time to perfect precision and for a divine purpose. I think what we do with each new year... each new day, each new hour matters. It's an opportunity to choose and worship Him through our actions and our lips.  It's an opportunity to love others as He loves us.  It's an opportunity to grow in our relationship with God and experience more of His Peace and Joy.  It's an opportunity to allow Him to work within us and help grow His Kingdom.

Be assured, this new year, new day and new hour for you matters to God.  Let the transformation and renewing of our minds, bring glory to Him.  

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
