Every year many people, like you and I, choose a list of resolutions for the next year. Generally, these are habits we will try to do every day, or habits we will try to avoid or quit “cold turkey.”

I think goal setting is a better vision for life and living than the plan of resolution setting.  Why?  Often if we fail to fulfill a resolution made, we relinquish it as one more failure in life, reinforcing the futility of real lasting change.  But if we prayerfully set goals, and find along the way that our goal or our strategy to achieve that goal isn’t working for us, we can be flexible and creative, not giving up on the goal, but modifying it until we find something doable, workable, pleasing to the Lord. 

As we take a wholistic view of goal-setting, seeking to bring our lives into alignment with God’s will and purposes, it will be more a journey, than a destination.  Resolutions are often so starkly black and white, so rigid that we actually set ourselves up for failure “again.” 

Let’s keep moving toward our goals!  Don’t be discouraged – there is nothing you and God can’t tackle in life with the amazing guaranteed results of the success and blessing of heaven.  True success is placing our hand in His as we cooperate with Divine Power to move toward positive and lasting change – transformation that will last for eternity!

Here’s to the journey ahead, toward heaven & home!

Romans 12:2

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,

that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Living a Life of No Limits,
