Very late albeit very important New Year's Resolution

My New Year’s Resolution: is to be radical and different, just like Jesus.

Not for the sake of being radical, not for anarchistic fun or wildness, but to be radical that I may proclaim His name and His mind-boggling gospel to the world. His gospel is radical, and He is radical, so need I be radical as well. 

This year, I want to be bold - not a boldness equivalent to rashness and recklessness, but a boldness mediated and regulated by thought, common sense, and above all, love. No longer do I want to hide behind pandering niceties, but to be frank and honest in a gentle way. 

This year I want to challenge my own pre-existing perceptions, to examine myself always, not to be seduced into the easy complacency of a comfy Christian bubble; but to daily grow in my Lord, whose folds of depths into which I can never fully delve. And also, to challenge others to know that there is no end to the mystery and glory of God. I want to talk to people I've never talked to before, experience new things, think about new things. And I want to do this all, with my vision focalised on Him.
