A New Year
“And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.” (Romans 8:11)
“Are you thinking that entering a New Year can be a time to close the door on the past year and discard hurts and unfulfilled dreams? This is not My purpose for starting your New Year.
I want you to look back over the year and answer these questions, so we can discuss them:
1. Is there guilt that can be turned to joy once we talk? If so, let’s talk.
2. Are there hurts that still bruise your thoughts and emotions? If so, let’s discuss this now.
3. Are there items on your ‘things to do’ list that didn’t get done? Perhaps the vision started this year, but can now be completed in the next year. Let’s talk and work out a plan.
Entering a New Year is not about discarding the past, but about resolving it before you step into the New Year.
Whatever your concerns, I am in charge of the rising of the sun and the setting of the same. I hold the vision for your future, and will give you portions of it as needed. Let’s walk into the New Year, Hand in hand. After we have discussed the questions, then inhale a new fresh breath from Me. I give this breath to you freely if you believe in it.”
