Step out of the Boat

A New Year brings new opportunities and challenges. Although it is just an arbitrary date of the calendar year we have assigned a reflective quality to this season. Many people want to see a new world for themselves. Most realize this means they must change--so they make resolutions about how they will change and make this happen. However, it does not really happen except in Jesus for in Him I am a new creature. Am I letting Him give me His new life? What amazing new things will I see and do this year? Will I walk on water like Peter or am I content to stay in the boat with the other disciples and miss out on the adventure of a lifetime?
