Deep breath in, deep breath out because 2023 is almost here. There’s always something exciting and refreshing about a new year. The past couple of years have seemed overwhelming and have left many of us longing for a new start. We’re all walking into 2023 desperate for good news. And the good news is that God’s been faithful to his children, and that won’t ever change.
As we ring in the New Year, with our new goals and resolutions, we need to always remember that God remains by us in all circumstances. Each year holds different struggles and challenges, loss and new life, life lessons and new wisdom. On this rollercoaster we call life, we are constantly changing, but God isn’t. He is steadfast in His unconditional love and promises to us — all year, every year.
This is the ideal time to look back and reflect on God’s faithfulness in our lives. However, it is also a time to look ahead and set a course for 2023 that will honor Heavenly Father for our next 365-day trip around the sun.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17.
