Christmas is over. New Year’s is approaching. We can’t help but think about setting new goals and resolutions.

What if our one goal for this coming year was to have a day filled with no other desire than to be in love with the Lord?

Isn’t that the ultimate experience of full recovery?

What if our only resolution was to have no other hope, need, or desire beyond rejoicing in the experience and remembrance of His goodness and love, His patience and longsuffering.

What if we had no other goal but the desire to rejoice in His word and His tender mercy? To discover His will for us and the strength and the courage to follow it.

Wouldn’t that be an amazing year?
