The poets would have us believe that each "New Year" opens yet another chapter in our lives, which can easily erase the past with its blessings and burdens and, by simply turning over a "new" leaf, create a fresh beginning - a complete, total "makeover". How we wish they were right! Only in Jesus' grace and fullness is such a "dream" made possible. But even those resources do not magically make old mistakes go away or present realities disappear. We live in a fallen world among people who are selfish and deceitful- and find God's "much needed grace" to help in dealing with these same impulses within our own hearts.
