“Masdan mo, ako ay gagawa ng isang bagong bagay; ito’y nagaganap na, hindi mo pa ba makita? Gagawa ako ng isang daanan sa gitna ng disyerto, at magkakaroon ng ilog sa lugar na ito.”

Isaias 43:19

Tradition na ng mga Pilipino ang maglinis ng bahay bago matapos ang taon. Aside from cleaning, normal din ang magpatugtog nang malakas at mag-ingay para itaboy daw ang malas at masasamang espiritu. As the new year starts, the motive boils down to wanting to start over and forgetting. Pero bakit kahit gawin ito ng marami, parang wala pa ring pinagkaiba ang nagdaang taon sa bagong taon?

Hindi pamahiin o anumang panlabas na kalinisan ang tunay na makakapagbigay sa atin ng bagong buhay. If you want to start the year right, here’s what you should do:

Una, surrender your life to the One who has the power to make in you a lasting change. Ang sabi sa 2 Corinthians 5:17, anyone who is in Jesus has now become a new creation. If you accept Him as your Lord and Savior, magkakaroon ka ng bagong buhay. Your sins will be forgiven at magkakaroon ka ng clean slate. 

Pangalawa, you have to forget the past. You can’t bring old, heavy baggages to a new destination. Kung meron kang hurts and unforgiveness, you have to decide to let those things go para ma-embrace ang bagong buhay na iniregalo ni Lord sa iyo.

And lastly, look forward to a new year with a joyful heart. Maging excited sa anumang gagawin ng Diyos sa buhay mo. Ang sabi sa Isaiah 43:19, the Lord will do something new. He will do greater things than He did in the past. Where there have been impossibilities, God is going to make a way.

LET’S PRAY

Lord, I lay down any hurts and regrets before You. Iniiwan ko po ang mga ito at pinipiling sundin ang kalooban Ninyo sa buhay ko. Excited po ako sa anumang gagawin Ninyo sa paparating na bagong taon. I know that this coming year will bring blessings because You will be with me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

APPLICATION

One way to start the year right is to commit to spend time with the Lord every day. Look for a Bible reading plan and ask the Lord to speak to you every day.
