It is funny to see that every time I write the blog, I wanted to start with "time flies", and it is actually how I feel! It is amazing to see that January has already passed for this new year.
I went to Urbana 2015 Conference after Christmas Day, the most influential moment for me at the conference was when Pastor David Platt stated that "before you go into missions, make sure yourself is not missing Jesus".
Do you have the same feeling as I have that "Oh, I could have better used my time! I could have spent more time on reading Bible, praying, meditating, growing in the Lord..." Yes, I could have. But what is more important compared with just regretting for the past is to learn from the past and improve the future. By God's grace, we are forgiven and given a new life, we need to repent for our sins and mistakes, and we also need to learn to embrace God's grace and remembering that Jesus has paid the price for us, what a marvelous gift that compels us to surrender our lives to Him.
So for this new year, I want to pray for you who is reading this blog and myself that God will give us the strength and wisdom to live a Jesus centered life. Do not let the past make you passive, instead, ask God to transform our characters and help us to aiming for the higher call.
