Let this be the year you start to love life... Remember “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10 (ESV)It's not all doom and gloom you know. You might have come to the end of a chapter, but a new canvas is given so you can rewrite the new. Looking back as a reflection, many things might have happened that changed your heart but take heart. Your heart might be heavy due to circumstances beyond your control, like retrenchment or the company declared bankruptcy leaving you with nothing to fall back on. Perhaps succumbed to a painful divorce, loss of a loved one and the list goes on and you are heavy burdened with the way things panned out. Sure, the thief has taken but God says remain in me as I remain in you.
A new year has begun, yet perhaps you find yourself feeling unsettled, discouraged, or weighed down by unmet expectations. Life may not be unfolding as you hoped, leaving you wondering if joy and fulfillment are still within reach.
But take heart—new beginnings hold unseen possibilities. Even in moments of doubt, hope remains. You are not forgotten, and your journey is still unfolding in ways you may not yet see.
May this year be one where hope is rekindled, joy is rediscovered, and opportunities reveal themselves in unexpected ways. Thank you for showing up, for holding on, and for believing—even when it feels difficult. You are seen, you are valued, and you are deeply appreciated.
Abound in Grace, under the shelter of His wings
