REFLECTIONS

     The hours are slowly fading away as we bid farewell to yet another year.  Time is like the grains in an hour glass.  They flow through in a flash and are evaporated.

     Now, we are being ushered in to a new realm.  It is a beautiful new board ready for God to create his artistic genius upon and write his glory upon the pages of your heart.

     So, let's make this a creative and brilliant new journey.  Don't let anything be a challenge to growth and development.  Let's set aside the old ways, like fear, anxiety, worry, uncertainty, and yes, even resolutions.

     This year, instead of vowing to makes strides that we most often never keep, let us begin a new.  Let us rededicate our hearts and lives to the Lord.  Let us simply ask him to help us to write a beautiful new chapter.

     Let's ask him to rebuild us into the beautiful instruments of his glory that he wants us to be, both inside and out.  He will help us to make whatever strides that he feels we need to make.

     He will give us whatever tools and provisions that we will need, when we need them, like strength and courage.  But, we need to keep in mind two things on our own part.

     First, we must draw closer to him and develop a powerful and strong relationship and bond with him.  A lifetime contract cannot truly be beneficial unless it is committed to by both parties.

     Secondly, we must let faith be our compass and guiding star, and realize our inadequacies and admit to them.  We must be willing to ask for forgiveness, and humble enough to ask for help when we need it.

     So, the time is ticking.  There is a new dawn arising.  Be encouraged today!  Expect a new horizon filled with promise from the Lord.

HAVE A HAPPY, SAFE, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!  GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
