"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
The word new is mentioned 150 times * The word newly is mentioned 2 times * The word newness is mentioned 2 times.
We are all standing at the brink of something new... a new day, a new month, a new year.
It’s time to reflect on our past and look to our future with wonder and hope for a brighter tomorrow. I know you are asking. How can we do this our world is in such turmoil. There is hate. There is discord. There is a relentless virus... There is sadness in my heart when I think of what we have lost... And I could stay in that mindset... I could bathe myself in this depression and despair daily ... I could allow myself to wallow in this darkness.
But you see I can’t... Because I found a beauty that lives in my soul. And I will admit it I can't contain it!! I just have to share it. This has changed my direction. It has changed what and who I value. This LOVE shines from heaven above. It has filled my soul with the wonderment of a child. It has filled my heart with a NEW song... It has given me NEW hope. He has given me a New outlook on life... He singularly can work miracles. He can turn our grey skies blue. His Love is like nothing you will ever experience on this earth ...
When you have felt Him in your heart ... You are driven by an unknown force that brings you peace no matter the circumstance. You began to focus on His promise of a heavenly existence for eternity. And as this transition happens ... The things of this life become less difficult because you will realize that our very existence is only a temporary condition all life must experience.
So, as I share this amazing new gift with you ... Let’s work together to focus on Him... Together let’s see that light shine from Heaven.. and let’s hold on to the hope of a brighter tomorrow.
It’s Him, it’s always him
Can I hear an Amen !!! Happy NEW Year !!!
Play the song below and sing it with me !!
Hallelujah, let's sing it's a NEW day!!
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’” (John 14:6)
