Moving Forward This New Year

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Another blessed Christmas and a New Year begins.  At this time lets remember all that God has done for us this year and the so many that came before. 

 Luke 2:11 – For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  

Our Saviour has come, He has risen, and He lives!  Christ came to bring us salvation, hope, peace, forgiveness and everlasting life.  No amount of money can buy that gift.   2 Corinthians 5:21 –  For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.   How amazing is that?

 God loves you! He loves you! He loves us!  This Christmas Season know that He loves you in spite of all the mistakes, disappointments, heartache, grief and pain- His love for you remains.  It is not too late to cast your cares on Him, It is not too late to lay your burdens down, to receive His forgiveness, to turn from a life of sin, or to receive healing.  He is waiting to have every area of your life, yet we allow fear to grip us and it only holds us back.  What if we gave Christ everything?  I know for me there is so much I am holding on to and He is telling me to let it go.  How do you let go of past hurts and disappointments?  You lay them at His feet and trust that He will see you through.  So as the New Year comes I encourage you to let go of all bitterness, resentment, un- forgiveness, doubt, and unbelief.  Leave it behind you and move forward with an open heart and open hands ready to receive all that He has in store for you.

Merry Christmas,
