G'day its been a long while, my last post was 4 yrs ago

The year is about to end, we look back at the things we have done and wonder how it affected our relationship with Jesus.
- did we forgive
- were we patient
- did we help others
- were we truthful
- did we learn the Word of God
- did we even try to read the Word of God
- were we honest in our work and business
- did we treat others fairly
- did we act entitled
- did we look down on others
- did we gave priority towards making money than our family
- did we pray
- did we continue to build a relationship with God
- did we envy others
- were we judgemental
- did we submit to authority
- did we let our pride stand in our decisions
- did we pray for our decisions
- did we grab the blessings from God
- were we intentional in teaching our children
- did we cause others to stumble because of our actions

We have a lot of questions, a lot of ifs, buts, could've or should've, but what is important is did you realise what you did? Did you learn from your mistakes or did you just allow your mistakes to remain as mistakes?

Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 New Living Translation (NLT)
17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

This year focus on God set a goal to meet God every day in prayer, focus on what God wants you to do for Him. Make God the priority and see how He will bless you. Do not submit to the material things of this world, do not try to keep up with others, prioritise God and Family. Social media can make us envious and bitter if we try to compare ourselves with others.

Everyone has their own life, their careers, we cannot be the same as them. God's plans for you and me are different for He has a specific purpose for each one of us. So this coming New Year, focus on God and prayer, not on tradition. Did wearing polka dots or having 12 fruits or lots of round items in your house when the New Year comes do you any good? Did it change your life or your financial status? This are things our parents and their parents did long ago, where they started no one knows, some believe them up to now but did you ever realise where the true blessing comes from? Who manages our lives based on His plan and will? We do not even know what tomorrow will bring but He does.
