If you had 2006 to live over again, I wonder how many of you would probably do something differently?
The reason we do that is because we fail.
We make mistakes.
Sometimes you give life your best shot and you still come up short.
The fact is, you're going to fail quite often in life.
It's not a matter of if you will fail -- you will fail many times, because nobody's perfect.
We all make mistakes.
You're going to have setbacks.
You're going to have problems.
You're going to make mistakes.
You're going to have defeats, losses.
You will fail.
As we begin this New Year – 2007 – I want us to consider the question: How Do You Make A Fresh Start?
What is God's way of making a fresh start?
Regardless of what happened in '06, how do I get a fresh start?
The Bible says that God is passionate about your future.
Isaiah 40:3 /“The Lord says, `Forget about what has happened before.
Do not think about the past.
Instead, look at the new things I'm going to do.'" / He says don't think about the past.
It's behind you.
You need to remember this: God is far more interested in your future than He is in your past.
He  doesn’t want to remind you of the things you've done wrong.
He's interested in your future.
Regardless of what kind of failure you had in 2006; whether financial failure, relational failure, failure in your marriage or moral failure; you maybe really blew it and you may have made some decisions you're so ashamed of you hope nobody ever finds out about.
Regardless of the failure you've had in your life, you can start over.
*Firstly, Stop making excuses.*
If I want to start over, I have to stop making excuses for my failures.
I've got to stop blaming other people.
I've got to stop seeing myself as the victim of my circumstances.
Let’s be clear on this: Other people can hurt you, there’s no doubt.
Other people can scar you, without a doubt.
But nobody can ruin your life except you.
Nobody can ruin your life without your permission.
You have a choice and that is you can choose how you're going to respond to those hurts.
You don't know what's going to happen in 2007.
You have no idea.
But you can choose how you choose to respond.
The Bible says that the starting point is to just be honest and accept responsibility for my part in the problem.
Proverbs 28:13 /“A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful.
