Welcome to 2011!

The Lord has blessed us with a new year, 2011. It has arrived fresh, clean and full of possibilities. We can wonder, hope, dream and maybe even be fearful of what it holds.

God already knows! He has planned this year from the beginning of time. He knows every second of it for every person. He will not be surprised by any event, action, reaction, birth, death, sickness, healing, union, reunion, break-up, insult, injury, mistake, failure, success, celebration, decision, or emotion. He knows the end of 2011 from the beginning. Whatever happens, He will remain on His throne. Period.

We can trust Him to lead us and guide us by His Word and by His Spirit. We can rest in the integrity of His Word. He is faithful, who has promised. He perfects that which concerns us. Why? Because He loves us.

My hopes and prayers for all of you, dear readers, for the coming year is that you will know the depth of God's love for you and that you will allow that love to work in you and be released to others.

As always, thank you for reading! Blessings to you!
