A Time To Reset (New Years Series Part 1)

I have kept this thought on my heart for a while now (honestly even before Christmas celebrations ever began) & I have pondered over where to even start with it but I do sometimes make writing for the Lord too technical. The best of what He has given me has only ever come from the heart. ❤️

Have you ever dealt with a laptop that just won't cooperate? 

I cannot begin to tell you how many seasons of laptops that I have lived through in the four years of college and 10+ years of writing.

They all eventually meet the exact same fate: 

Pages won't load as efficiently. The battery won't keep its charge. The smallest task becomes its greatest challenge. 

However, the most agonizing death for a computer is having a virus absolutely consume the entire operating system, effectively rendering the device completely unusable. 

At that point it becomes necessary to attempt a factory reset. It essentially wipes your operating system completely clean & provides it with a much-needed fresh start. 

Are you someone in need of a new beginning? 

You've been holding onto that broken sin-filled life for so long now that no other way of living seems possible. 

The presence of sin only functions as a virus in your life that will gradually grow to be out of control if you choose to never install any sort of protection.

No one ever thinks that whatever sin they are dealing with will travel that far with them. That it's no big deal. 

It IS a big deal. 

Deciding where you'll spend eternity is a HUGE deal. It's the most important decision you will ever make. 

Jesus loves you. Won't you call upon His name & allow Him to give you that new beginning that your heart & soul so desperately need?

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10)

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23)
