The shopping is over, the cookies have all been given away -- with traditional recipes tucked away for next year. The presents have been given and the children enjoying a few days off before the school resumes . . .
The new year awaits us! A dawning of the unknown, yet irresistable future. How we meet this coming year is often time tainted with how the last one has gone. Some of us hope to "turn over a new leaf." Others of us face the year wading though some kind of grief or loss. Some of us face it with rejoicing and expectancy. While others may be tempted to dread its coming.
No matter what, there are a few non variables with which we can face this coming year. Life. If you are reading this -- you have life left in your body. Hope. Yes, if you have life, there IS always hope. God. For God IS!
His coming in human form gives us the marvelous way to eternal life. We don't have to face this new year alone. We can trust in, and rely on His present, and eternal existence. His Presence doesn't falter -- even when we cannot feel. His Power doesn't diminish -- even when our strength is gone. His love remains unfailing -- way past our human comprehension.
He knows our fears, our thoughts, our regrets, our longings, our desires, our dreams -- and He isn't in a panic, nor is He nonchalont about this whole "world thing." He is God. His thoughts are above ours -- His ways above ours -- His All seeing eye viewing way more than we can even imagine -- and HE is WITH US!!!!
Lean on Him, rest in Him, surrender to Him -- and know no matter what comes or goes, God is.
Take it with You
