New Year's Resolutions

I only have one new year resolution: To be closer to God

Why is it that simple? After being a Christian for 1 year, i realise that many things are not up to us to decide. Our worldly desires cannot be attained unless they are right in the eyes of the Lord. Besides, the days without God in my life was truly unbearable.

God will set things right in my life, as long as i live a holy and righteous life for the sake of his.Isaiah 55:8-9 says that ""For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughs than your thoughts."" He knows me best, even better than myself. Even before i was born.

2008 indeed wasn't a good year for the world, and for many people whom i know. So i pray that 2009 will brighter than 2008. However, if 2009 turns out to be worse, its ok.Romans 5:3-5 says that" Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance , character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." This, i guess, will help me pull through my army life for the next 2 years.

Rejoice, for 2009 is coming!!
