Dear Church,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

WOW! 2011 is finally here!!!

First and foremost, I would like to wish one and all a very happy and blessed new year! What better place should we be in than being in the house of God on the first day of the year! Like it or not 2010 is history. It is not going to come back again. Let’s not look back and regret but instead reflect on the lessons that we have learnt and grow stronger in this brand new year. I always love new years! It signifies change, a brand new start, fresh hope, and renewed strength. It is always at the turn of a new year that new energy is being injected into each one of us.

However, I want to inspire all of us to keep on keeping on and maintain the momentum all the way through. It means nothing to just have a great start but fail to keep up with it, say, 3 months into the year. This journey called life is not a sprint. 2011 is not a 100-metre race but a marathon instead. So, I want to encourage everyone to maintain a healthy pace. Keep on running. Sprint but not all the time. We need to last the distance.

In this brand new year, prepare yourself well. Make clear your goals. Know where you are heading. Focus on loving God and building lives. Focus on what is eternal. Very often people are stuck with the temporal. Their focus is only to make more money. We should aim for significance instead of just a healthy bank balance. We should aim to restore and build.

All of us have had many chances to do this right. So, let’s make it right this time round. Start the new year strong and clear. Begin with a right mindset. Keep on running with a great attitude. Once again, focus on what matters.
Have a blessed and meaningful 2011!

Running together,

KEV
