AMEN.

My situation may not reflect that I know who I am, but I know who I am.. I've never thought I would live this long. I've always felt that I would die young. So the sheer fact that I made it to see 2014 is more life than I ever thought to live. Each day is a blessing. I'll keep God first and trying to improve in my relationship with him everyday. I struggle. I'm not perfect. I have my own battles. I will prevail. Glory will be mine. The devil can't take what's already mine. Be blessed.
My Hope is not a Wish (2014)
God has guided me through another year of ups and downs, but through it all God was on time good. As a new year approaches, I am not one to make resolutions or wishes to bring in the new. I choose to put my trust in my Almighty God. Instead of resolutions, start living with the "Living Hope" of Jesus return. My reason for being excited about each new day (year) is my "Living Hope" for my Heavenly Inheritance God has stored for me in Heaven. Being a member of the Family of God, I am locked into God's Will which includes the gift of Eternal Life in a New Body with no pain, no suffering, or sin. My Hope in Jesus' return is all I will ever need to get me through another year as I serve, praise, and worship my Almighty God. My Hope will never be a wish which may or may not come to pass. My "Living Hope" is based on all of God's past, present, and future promises. My God has never broken a promise. When you know and believe you have an inheritance in Heaven it's all you need to live a courageous heavenly transforming life in 2014. Plant your seeds of Faith, Hope, and Love today, so that you may reap and harvest the "Blessing of Hope" in 2014. With something to think about on "Living Hope" (I Peter 1:3-9), make it a Blessed Day (Year) or not, the choice is yours.
