"Look, I am making everything new!" Revelation 21:5 (NLT)
Happy New Year! I hope you had a nice Christmas and are enjoying a break from school. As you look back on 2013, what do you remember? What was good? What was difficult? What was challenging or inspiring? What unexpected things did you encounter? What are you looking forward to or hoping for in 2014?
Did you know that your life is a story? Each new year, season, challenge, or trial is like a new chapter. Some chapters are about what happens to you and how you respond. Others are about what you make happen. And still others can be about what you allow God to do. Whether you are responding to daily events or pursuing a dream, it always helps to have God involved.
I pray in 2014 you will allow God to lead you every day. Listen for His guidance. Watch for His presence. Ask for His help. Believe in His love. Wait for His best. And trust in His grace. Even if you have "bad" chapters in your past or you make mistakes in the coming year, His love remains. His grace is enough to lead you on. And the best chapters are still to come!
Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
