So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:17-20
God has given us a new year and a new life. As we settle in and get used to writing 2012 on everything will we settle back into the same old pattern of previous years or will we truly be ambassadors for Christ? Will people look at us and say "If that's a christian I don't want to be like that!"? Or will they say "You help me see what Jesus was like. How can I be more like you?"
May God guide you and richly bless you in this new year.
Blessings!
Marilyn
