As I close out 2015, I’d like to share Dr. David
Jeremiah’s commentary on reflection and hope.
“As
we stand on the cusp of a new year, we have the
opportunity
to pause and reflect on the past year.
Although
loved ones sometimes sugarcoat their
feedback,
we can find clarity in seeking God’s
perspective.
He measures the waters on the earth and
knows
every crevice of your soul. He sees and speaks truth.
If
we don’t take time to do this, our years blur together
and
we miss the story God is weaving in our lives. As
we
review our year, seeking His clarity, we find growth
to
celebrate and missed opportunities to mourn.
Reflecting
on the past can strengthen us for the future
as
we seek God’s vision and direction for the upcoming
year.
Allow Him to lovingly lead you forward.”
(Turning
Points, December 31, 2015)
“All day long have I toiled and striven; but now in
the stillness of heart and in the clear light of Thine eternity, I would ponder
the pattern my life has been weaving.” John Baillie
As we slip into 2016, reflect on 2015 and all its
joys and disappointments. All were woven into your life – threads of growth and
blessings.
Happy New Year! I’m going into it singing a new
song. And as I close out 2015 in remembrance, I press onward in joy in 2016! I
can’t wait to see what God has in store for me.
Blessings to you all!
Happy New Year to you! I'll sing a new song with you! Can't wait to read what God puts on your heart this new year! Blessings to YOU!
