Resolutions vs Do-Overs

Well, it’s January 4 – four days into the new year.

Have you kept your resolutions? Did you make any?

I heard the pros and cons of making resolutions, had been giving it some thought and decided against it.

I have a tendency to try to be perfect. I know perfection is not attainable and we should strive for excellence but my excellence slides into perfection way too easily.

So, I’m trying to take the pressure off.

Whilst the thinking was going on my mind wandered over to the spiritual side.

I realized that we don’t need a specific day to start over with God. He has no New Years beginning. No Monday morning, no first day of the month - all starting points for our flesh.

God gives us “do overs” on a daily, hour by hour, minute by minute basis.

And I’m so glad he does.

And better yet, he doesn’t keep track and stack the screw ups in piles in the room of regret for us to go back and visit.
