Happy New Year!
Some of you may have woke up this morning, walked outside, and said, “This looks the exact same as it did yesterday. Nothing has changed. It’s going to be the same old-same old as last year.”
.
But God says… “I have a good future in store for you!”(Jeremiah 29:11) This is not the same as last year or the year before. I am making all things new. Can you not see it? Yesterday was yesterday, today is a new day, as sure as the sun rose this morning. Who knows what today holds? Live it, not try to relive yesterday in regret or live in anxiousness about tomorrow. Stay here with Me… in the present! I am here… so what can possibly happen to you that I can’t handle?
Lighten Up
Live each day with “expectancy.” Know that “I love you,” and always have your best interest in mind. Know that I am taking care of everything that concerns you. If it is a concern to you, it is a concern to Me! Bring your worries and cares to Me, and know that I will take care of them for you. I am a good, good Father, and don’t want anything bothering you. I want the best for you. Don’t be burdened down with excess cares. Give them to Me, I can handle them. Didn’t I tell you not to worry about what you will eat or drink, or what you will wear (Matthew 6:25-34)? If I can feed all the fish and birds and squirrels every single day, I can certainly take care of you, My precious little one. Don’t you worry about a thing…Daddy’s got you covered!
.
Just like you want to take care of your children and want the best for them, so do I. You are My pride and joy! I want to you enjoy living life, enjoy My provision and My creation, be nice and share with others what I have freely given you.
Live with “expectancy” and “assurance” that I LOVE YOU and will take care of you; I said so. That is faith… not living in fear of not measuring up to My expectations or doubting that I will keep My word. Would I ever trick or deceive you? No! You can trust Me, I am your Father.
.
I Will Never Leave You!
So look to Me today, and tomorrow, and the next day. See Me in every day, for I will be there with you, hand-in-hand to walk with you through whatever life may bring. I specialize in “Happy Endings” and can turn around whatever difficulties you may face…it too shall pass! I serve dessert last, so don’t you worry about a thing. Every little thing’s gonna be alright… Daddy said so!
