Happy New Year

[Jessica]

Let’s enter the New Year with the freedom of forgiveness! Don’t carry the burden of bitterness and the obstacle of offense into 2012. Forgive and release all those who have hurt and wronged you. Pray for your enemies to be saved and forgiven. Ask God to fill your heart with his love for others and experience the joy of his presence. He is with you! “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.†Mt 5:7-9

"What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (JN 1:3-5)

The light of the world, Jesus, points us towards eternal life. This light of Christ cannot and has not been overshadowed by the darkness of this world. Dear Jesus, as we prepare for the beginning of this great new year you have given to us, let us thank you for the many gifts and blessing of the past year. We ask that you continue to bless all of humankind, bring our hearts the beauty and splendor of your love as we look towards Heaven for Your salvation. Amen!

Let’s Pray…God today I just want to say Thank YOU. Thank YOU for another New Year. Thank You for loving ME. Thank You for Your goodness, mercy, and grace. Your compassion fail not. They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. You have been real good to me. You have been faithful to your Word. Forgive me Lord for the times I allowed the pressures and challenges of life to rob me of my joy and my praise to You. Forgive me for having an ungrateful attitude because You did not move the way I wanted You to or things did not go my way. You know what is best for me. You are an excellent father, friend, and provider. And today I just want to say, I got to say, Thank You. Amen!!!

Stay Thankful My Friend!
