5 Reasons This Will Be a Great Year for You!

5 REASONS THIS WILL BE A GREAT YEAR FOR YOU from Mark Gilroy

It’s good to take a look back and see what we liked – and didn’t like – about last year – our circumstances, relationships, and personal behavior and integrity. But it’s even better to look forward with renewed faith, commitment, and optimism. As the Apostle Paul reminds us:

“No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us” (Philippians 3:13-14, NLT).

TRANSCRIPT

5 REASONS THIS WILL BE A GREAT YEAR FOR YOU

Lessons Learned: What went wrong and right last year? why? own your part.

God Is on Your Side: Did you know the One who knows you best loves you most?

Prayer Makes a Difference: Bring your thanksgiving, your praise, and your needs to god.

You are Resilient: You know – it’s not how many times you are knocked down but how many times you get up.

Optimism: A positive attitude always outperforms a negative outlook.
