Natapos na ang Pasko pero mayroon namang dumating na bagong taon. Kaya huwag nating kalimutan na nilalaman rin ng awiting, "Ang Pasko ay Sumapit," ang mga salitang ito tungkol sa New Year: “Bagong taon ay magbagong-buhay Nang lumigaya ang ating bayan Tayo’y magsikap upang makamtan Natin ang kasaganaan.” Paano ba magbagong buhay?

Whether we suffer emotional or physical wounds, forgiveness is the cornerstone of the Christian life. Jesus Christ experience all kinds of unfair and unjust treatment, even to the point of a wrongful death. Yet in his final hour, he forgave the mocking thief on the other cross and his executioners.

It's no secret that those who are closest to us can wound us the most profoundly. Reeling from betrayal, we build walls around our hearts to protect us from the heartache, yet these are the very walls that block us from seeing hope, receiving healing and feeling love. It's time to tear down your walls, work through your wounds, repair damaged relationships and discover the power of an open heart.
