A new year, be encourage, strengthen your faith, lead your heart, trust in God!

Father, Jehovah my God let me start this year along with my family and friends being strengthen in Your word, solidifying myself and helping others to do the same in Your truth, please Father, help me bring hope to the hearts who are almost loosing it, light the way to them so they can see it clearly Your pure and unmatched, and unending love for us. Lord, this is only my simple prayer, but guide me this coming year to Your words, the ones others and me need to hear and to be reached by, I pray for restoration of marriages, for vices to be broken, and for families to realize how important it is to stand side by side in every situation and under Your name and truth and promises. I ask You this in the name of my Savior Jesus Christ, Amen!

We all have our lives to live and know that one day we will also leave this realm, but in the book of Psalms 39:13 it tell us that at times we may hope God is looking away from us so that we can find a way to deal with our mistakes and in better words it says; "O look away from me and spare me, that I may recover cheerfulness and encouraging strength and know gladness before I go and am no more!". To find strength and know gladness before i go, before i die, that to me shows that life is not suppose to be easy, there will be trials, there will be mountains to climb, oceans to cross, storms to survive, but no matter where we are, and what we may be doing, we have to find the time to say to ourselves recover, strengthen and rejoice even in our worst, give the glory to God at all circumstances, the lemon life just gave you may be to make lemonade and quench your thirst, the pain you may be going through may be to heal someones hurt. Establish who you are and who you want to be, write it down, posted in a place you have to see it and be reminded every day of where you should be walking towards, in Acts 14:22 it says; " Establishing and strengthening the souls and the hearts of the disciples, urging and warning and encouraging them to stand firm in the faith, and telling them that it is through many hardships and tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God." so as you can see the gates of heaven is narrow and comes with much faith and endurance.

Next I would like to share Philippians 2:1-2 which says so much in so few words; " So by whatever appeal to you there is in our mutual dwelling in Christ, by whatever strengthening and consoling and encouraging our relationship in Him affords, by whatever persuasive incentive there is in love, by whatever participation in the Holy Spirit we share, and by whatever depth of affection and compassionate sympathy.

Fill up and complete my joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord and of one harmonious mind and intention." Ask yourselves what is it in God's promises, in His words that appeals to me, what is it in His love that makes me want to have more and more, and how is it that I can afford to believe in every other book, theories of evolution and big bangs, but not give this Love story full of life and joy be too filled with questions and not worthy of my attention... I know my answer, and I am the only one who can answer for myself, I realized that I will be judged, that I will be very much criticize, called names, and persecuted for my beliefs, as we Christians are the only class of society that can be made fun of, criticize, and called hypocrites when we dare to fail, we are held to a hire stander by society and because of it our failures are often more exposed than others who constantly "choose" to live their lives in sin. SO again I bring you to Philippians 2, where I see this verses this way; "Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining against God and questioning and doubting among yourselves, lean not in your own strength, for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you, energizing and creating in you the power and desire, both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guiltless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish, faultless, unrebukable in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation, spiritually perverted and perverse, among whom you are seen as bright lights, stars or beacons shining out clearly in the dark world, Letting the same attitude and purpose and humbleness mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus, Let Him be your example in humility, whose name should and must make every knee bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." This is how I see it I know that it is not in the perfect way that was written but it is in the perfect way God today wanted me to write it to you.

Do all things in humility,humbleness, in like manor of Jesus and you will be living a life worth living, it is not where you are in life today, what kind of car you drive, the clothing you are wearing, or even the street and house you live in that will represent who you are, let your light shine in 2010, let His light shine through you, and the same words God once woke me up at 5 am in a dream telling me to read it, I will say it to you, " YOU MUST DECREASE,SO I CAN INCREASE". He told me three times to get up and read this words from John 3:30, the third time after me ignoring thinking that was just a dream and that I will read later when i get up, He shove me up into a sitting position and in the dark i reach for my Bible which was right next to me, turn the light on and proceeded to try to find this John 3:30 just to find out that there are 3 Johns in the Bible but only one has a 3:30, and when i read i was confused, but now couple years ahead I understand and thank God daily for helping me understand that with out getting to know Him and letting Him increase in me I would always be just me, but because I did what He asked me to, I am a constant testimony of what can happen when we completely surrender our lives to Christ!

Wishing you all a blessed new year, filled with love, good health, happiness, and much success, and that all these blessings shall be abundant enough that you can share with others,in Jesus name I say, HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Thanks Brother - am late getting to this because I have had a sick kitten - he had turned around now (prayer and the Lord's wisdom and goodness) and is finally being a kitten in stead of a lethargic little guy! MArijo
