Another Year

Read 2 Peter 3:10-18

Another year can be said with exhaustion or enthusiasm. Which is it for you? I want all of us to realize the blessings we have. God is good - ALL THE TIME. While I can sit here and give you all the reasons 2009 was difficult, painful and emotional (as all of us can do) I'd prefer looking back and being thankful for God's grace and mercy which are new every day.

You see when our attitudes are focused on Him, who He is and what He's doing in our lives we have a different outlook. We have the ability to live with anticipation instead of hesitation. We have the ability to expect God's faithfulness and therefore we can start seeing His faithfulness beginning to appear more and more in our lives.

Friends all I want us to think about as we face another year is this - think about how you've grown in the grace and knowledge of Him. Together let's make this the year when our love and knowledge of Jesus Christ skyrockets. Let's allow God to do His good work in us until the Day of Christ Jesus. And may God get the glory in our lives!
