New Year New opportunities.

Each year we all fall into the same routine of making New Year resolutions knowing full well that by Valentines Day, most of those resolutions are long past. A lot of times our paths in life are kind of like a hiking trail, there is a pathway the leads through the woods and at times it looks easier to got off the trail and take what looks like a short cut. Technically it's against the rules to go off through the woods blazing your own trail and it's definitely a greater chance of getting lost or mis lead when all one has to do is simply follow the path and obey the signs. Our signs are clearly marked in a God inspired walk, and all we have to do is simply read them but, as usual, we all simply over look them thinking we are too busy. Our job as Christians is to simply be on the lookout for the ones that have strayed from the trail and help them find the path again. It is no coincidence that we are referred to as lambs in the parables that Jesus was known to use. If a lamb is lost you wouldn't try to persuade it to rejoin the herd by making it feel like a goat. The same goes for us, we shouldn't make someone feel estranged simply because he or she has fallen from the path. Instead, lead them, wrap them in love and gently show them the right way to travel. We all make mistakes everyday, it is the time to make it known that you are still loved.
This year, 2012 is a year everyone will be watching those intently that has the most faith. Make the best of it. Let your light shine so brightly, no one can help but see it. Remember, the lost lamb is worth all the effort in the world to be found.
