"Your One Life" - New Year's Day Message

Jan 1, 2023    Gary Moritz

Your One Life … this is a powerful statement! A new year reminds us that yesterday is gone, and all we have is today. Think about your life as a string of moments and experiences that run back-to-back. With every heartbeat and day that passes, time is passing by that can never be regained. Our days are numbered, and each passing day becomes a distant memory. We only get one shot at life.


“Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.”—Psalms 90:12

One day, we will face the end of our lives and the question, “Did my life matter?” As we think about a new year, I want us to consider legacy over longevity. Don’t think about what you are leaving behind; instead, think about who you are leaving behind. Who are you impacting? Who will thank you for your example and the donation of your life? As we kick off this new year, think about restarting, realigning, refocusing, and rethinking how you can maximize your influence for Kingdom impact.
