S.T.A.R.T / HOW TO MAKE A FRESH START IN 2015 - Starting your new year off right. Making a fresh start. - S - stop making excuses. Other people can hurt us, other people can harm us, and other people can scar us but the only person that can ruin your life is you. Nobody can ruin your life without your permission (Prov 28:13). T- take inventory of your life. Learn from your mistakes. Failure can be your friend or your foe. You determine if failure will be your friend or foe by the way you react to it. You can choose to learn from it or choose to repeat it. If you learn from it then it can be your friend. However, if you don’t learn from it is your foe. A- act in faith. You have to launch out into new territory. The Bible says that the key to changing anything is faith. If you want to change your circumstance, it takes faith. If you want to change your personality, it takes faith. If you want to change anything in your life, you have to have some faith. (Gal 3:4) Jesus says this in Matthew 9. According to your faith it will be done to you. R- refocus. Say to yourself ...I need to refocus my thoughts if I want to change my life. If I want to get going again, if I want a fresh start, I need to rethink the way that I think. I need to change my mind about a number of issues. Proverbs 4:23 Be careful how you think. Your life is shaped by your thoughts. The way you think, determines the way you feel. And the way you feel determines the way you act. If you want to change your actions, just change the way you think and it will inevitably change the way you act. T -Trust God to help us succeed. Depend on Him. We don’t need depend on ourselves. We’ve already proven that we can’t do it on our own. That’s why we’ve failed. Some people just don’t get it. They stumble and fall and then they get up and say, “I’ll just try harder!” It’s like you go up to a wall and bang your head against it and the wall doesn’t fall down. You try it again and Bang! Again. You keep doing it thinking, “Maybe it will fall over this time.” That’s the definition of insanity – doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results. If we keep doing the same thing then we will keep getting the same result. We can’t change who we are, only God can do that. I am not speaking about the outward man but the inner man. The real person is the hidden person of the heart. Success in the Christian life is not trying harder, but living smarter. Giving God control of my life. Zechariah 4:6 “ You will not succeed by your own strength or power but by My Spirit, says the Lord. ” Blessings to all that you put your hands to do in 2015 Speaking The Truth In Love!
