Many people set goals at the beginning of the year. This is a helpful exercise, but we need to ask: "Is this goal ultimately worthwhile?" When we ask this question, we may realise that we need to reconsider our goals.

Here is a goal that is eternally worthwhile:

TO KNOW JESUS AND BECOME LIKE HIM

And here are some things that will help us get there:

-Get to know Jesus by being in his presence in prayer and in worship.

-Get to know Jesus by learning his words and ways from the Bible.

-Put Jesus' words into practice in obedient faith.

-Submit to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.

-Persist in these things!
