Happy New Year.! Wow, crazy to think that 2013 is gone and it makes me see how quickly life goes by. I am thankful for so many blessings of 2013 including the trials, hurt and pain because all of it was needed to continue the growth in my walk with the One who my heart Loves! As I slowly put the year 2013 to rest it does not go in vain and every second of it was a moment where grace, mercy, love , healing, forgiveness, and peace was either learned, given, or received.
The new year is a brand new page on my journey with the Love of my life. The One that my soul has found rest in and the One and only One, in whom I trust. I am beyond excited to walk each day of 2014 in the embrace and arms of my Savior. In remembrance of New Year resolutions I am challenged to remember that my resolutions do not reflect what I want but what my Lover wants. What does the Love of my life ask of me this year?
To walk humbly with HIM:
" And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8
To be HIS witness:
"You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,“and my servant whom I have chosen,so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he.Before me no god was formed,nor will there be one after me.I, even I, am the Lord,and apart from me there is no savior.I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you.You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God. " Isaiah 43:10-12
To Love the Lord your God:
He answered, “‘Love
the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with
all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
To Trust HIM:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to him,and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
To talk to HIM:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. " Philippians 4:6
To rest in HIS arms:
"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, 'Destroy them!'- Deu 33:27
Resting in the arms of the One that my heart loves I start this New Year with these promises of truth and comfort. Our God is for us and nothing can be against us. Ready and opened to all He holds in the days, seconds and moments of this year 2014.
