MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLVE:

By the grace of God and the power of His indwelling Spirit, I will grow into
the likeness of Christ throughout the year in all aspects of my life: Spiritually,
by spending a quality time daily with God, listening to Him through reading
His Word, speaking to Him through prayer, sharing my faith with others,
encountering Him in ministering to the needy and regularly meeting with
God’s family on His holy Sabbath day. Socially, by becoming a better friend to
all wherever I go and wherever I am, never speaking ill of others, making time
to expand the social networking with as many people as possible, particularly
God’s people. Mentally, by strengthening and exercising the mind, through
making a persevering study of God’s Word as a great educating power,
choosing and reading good quality books, learn to think positive. Physically,
by taking good care of my body to stay fit, through exercising regularly,
eating and drinking what is good, healthy and nutritious, getting enough
sleep and rest.
“Failure is not reaching your goal, but in having no goal to reach.” –Benjamin
