Ringing in the New Year

At the stroke of midnight tonight, 2010 will end. Today, I'm busy contemplating the close of 2010 and the start of 2011. Yet as I pen "The End" to 2010, I've learned some thing.

1. Do not search for romantic love. God will bring you love in His perfect timing. In the interim, hide your life in Christ and diligently seek His love and approval.

2. Put the Word of God before you during every encounter whether you're encountering a man or a woman. The word of God is sharper than any two edged sword.  A soul's reaction to the Word of God will reveal what type of person they really are. Avoid those who reject the gospel.

3. Be obedient to God in all things.

4. Pray always & give thanks, especially for and about all things.

5. Commit your way to the Lord and trust Him to always lead you.

6. Be mindful that just as we are forgiven, we are required to forgive others - regardless of the magnitude of the wrong.

Dear one, life is not so hard when we are hidden in Christ. Claim the power of Jesus in your life. Take His life and be healed by His abundant life. Following Jesus is easy when we claim the victory through Him. We love Him because he first loved us.

As the hymn goes: "Leaning on the everlasting arms."
