I want to wish you safe celebrations tonight. It is natural for us to look back on this
year and to set resolutions for the coming year. My prayer is that you do not dwell on the
negative events of the past for they are the stepping stones on which you
firmly planted your feet to get to the next level. For those who have endured tough times,
remember that for each cry of, “I don’t know how I’ll get through this”…your
prayer was heard and answered. For here
you are – in this space and in this time – you are here and you are loved by a
God that is greater than our biggest, creative imagination.
As we enter the New Year may we cross the threshold knowing
our living Lord just a little bit more than we did this time one year ago. May we look forward to all that our Lord has
in store for us and may we even now marvel at the miraculous escape routes He
has planned for us when things get frustrating, tiring, and scary.
May you feel in your heart and mind and, yes, even in every
step of your feet, that Jesus is indeed your great advocate to the Father. When
we turn our eyes from Him with our thoughts, words, or deeds, may we take
comfort in knowing that Jesus is the one saying to His Father, “extend your
mercy upon this dear one…I know him and he knows me and I can vouch for his
heart”.
It is my joy and my pleasure and a blessing to my spirit
that you and I are companions on this journey.
Let us all grab hands and step in to 2014 and always remember we are in
this together. God Bless you.
