Know God for Yourself: The Mindset You Need Now, in the New Year and Forever!

Hello beautiful people!


Let's jump right into this month's theme. It's one that I pray sticks with you FOREVER.


As the calendar edges closer to a brand-new year, it’s natural to set goals, craft vision boards, and make plans for growth and success. But as you map out your dreams, there’s one mindset that will transform every aspect of your life: knowing God for yourself.


Why It Matters

In a world overflowing with opinions, distractions, and shifting values, it’s easy to rely on secondhand faith. We lean on sermons, social media soundbites, or the spiritual strength of others to fill the gap. But the truth is, no one else’s relationship with God can sustain you. Their wisdom and encouragement are helpful, but God created you to personally know Him, hear His voice, and experience His love.


Knowing God for yourself means stepping beyond religion into a vibrant relationship. It’s moving from a spectator to a participant in your faith journey. It’s the foundation that will ground you when life throws unexpected challenges your way—and let’s be honest, the new year will bring its share of highs and lows.


How It Changes Your New Year

  1. Clarity for Your Goals - When you know God for yourself, your goals aren’t just about checking boxes—they align with His purpose for your life. You begin to desire what He desires, and that clarity is priceless.

  2. Strength in Uncertainty - The new year is a blank canvas, but it comes with unknowns. Knowing God equips you with peace and confidence, because you trust the One who holds your future.

  3. Authenticity in Your Journey - In a world of comparison, knowing God for yourself keeps you focused. You’re not imitating someone else’s path—you’re walking confidently in the unique calling God has placed on your life.

  4. Renewed Joy and Gratitude - The closer you get to God, the more you see His goodness all around you. This mindset fosters joy and gratitude, no matter the circumstances.


How to Start Knowing God for Yourself

  1. Prioritize Time with Him - Set aside daily moments to pray, read His Word, and simply sit in His presence. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just consistent.

  2. Seek His Voice - Ask God to speak to you and guide your decisions. His voice often comes through Scripture, quiet moments, or even unexpected conversations.

  3. Apply What You Learn - Knowing God isn’t just about head knowledge—it’s about heart transformation. When you apply what He reveals to your life, your faith becomes real and active.

  4. Surround Yourself with Encouragers - While knowing God for yourself is personal, it’s helpful to surround yourself with people who inspire and challenge you to grow spiritually.


A New Year, A Deeper Faith

As you step into the new year, let this be your resolution: to truly know God for yourself. Not through someone else’s lens, not just on Sundays, but in your everyday life. This mindset isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential. It’s the key to navigating the year with purpose, peace, and power.


The invitation is open. God is ready to meet you where you are and take you deeper than ever before.


Will you accept it?


Love,
