According to JC

Everybody likes to get new things. New is always special and exciting. Whether it is a pair of shoes, a car, a baby, a friendship, a puppy, new anything usually charges our batteries.  We get that appreciation of all things new from our Father in heaven. He’s totally into new things. We see that in everything He does. When I gave my life to the Lord I immediately discovered His penchant for things new. The first thing He did for me was to give me a brand new heart. The old one could have been remodeled or restored but instead I received a new one. This is part of His intention to make every believer a new creature in Christ, where old things pass away and all things become new. Right now the Lord is in the process of making everything in your life totally new. Nothing refurbished or recycled for you. This is a new day and you are in line to receive all things new. Jesus didn’t come to this earth to remake or renegotiate the Old Covenant. He didn’t add some amendments to it like our government has to our constitution. Instead, He came to establish a New Covenant with man based on new and better promises. New and better is always the way of the Kingdom of God. It is time, once again, for us to flip the calendar on a New Year. Many people are simply expecting for the New Year to be a repeat performance of the old. We are not among that crowd. We live in joyful anticipation of the freshness that 2012 will bring. God’s plans are often unlike anything we have ever seen or experienced. Such will be the case next year. As the Lord declared through the prophet “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19). New things will certainly be springing forth next year that will affect even the wildernesses and deserts of our life. Get ready for the most incredible year we’ve ever seen because it will be authored by the God who “makes all things new” (Revelation 21:5). Happy New Year to you!
