A Resolution that Will Last - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

Walk Humbly

Each January, many of us make resolutions—perhaps promising to eat better, exercise more, or distinguish ourselves in our careers. We can be confident that resolutions like these are good things, even as we consider how our resolutions might serve others. As we consider resolutions that may define this year ahead, may we resolve to daily keep our eyes open to the person God wants us to serve. Scripture reminds us of the "Lazarus" at our doorstep—the person in need of our time, compassion, or simple kindness. That person may be a loved one longing for our attention, a coworker carrying unseen burdens, or a neighbor who feels forgotten. May the graces of this new year strengthen your resolve to do good and to always respond generously and selflessly to the needs of others.
