Fresh Surrender

“Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life.” - ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

At the end of this life and the beginning of the new, Christ will reward us according to our deeds. Talk will not just be cheap—it will be worthless. As we reflect on the past year, we can evaluate our words and deeds. Whether they were consistent or not, God is still for you. He has been from the beginning and will continue to be for you in 2025.

Now is the time to be for God in both word and deed. While we have all wavered in the past, God has given us a brand-new year for fresh surrender and learning to simply rest in Him as He works His will in us and through us.
