Happy New Year !!! We made it! All praise to the most high God! As I took time to reflect on 2020, I was mind blown thinking about how great our God is. Our Father really worked it ALL for my good. Every twist, turn, up, down, hill, valley, mountain, tear, smile, challenge, trial, and tribulation, was all for my GOOD.
"And we know that God causes EVERYTHING to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." - Romans 8:28 NLT
Our Lord proved once again to be a man of his word! EVERYTHING I endured, "good or bad" worked together for my good! The Lord never left me, nor forsaked me. He made me strong and courageous, gave me hope and a future, assigned angels to protect me and blessed me immeasurably. I lived a life of abundance and received more faith, joy, peace, hope, forgiveness, patience, gentleness, self-control, and kindness.
As we move into 2021, I challenge you to HIDE his word in your heart, BELIEVE it, STAND on it and WATCH it be fulfilled. He is NOT a man that he can lie and if he said it, it is so!
Here is my charge for you this year! Connect with him daily, no matter what. If you're unsure how or just need a little inspiration, here are 21 ways to connect with our Father this year!
