HAPPY NEW YEAR

Dear JESUS, YOU see the state of our world. YOU see the turmoil, the strife, the anger, the wars, the rumors of war. YOU see the hearts of those of us who occupy this sphere. We cry out to YOU, the PRINCE OF PEACE, when our own hearts harbor war. We know that within ourselves is no good thing. We know our lust for power and wealth consumes us. We know we have no greater potential for peace in the year ahead than we have had in the one we leave behind tonight. We know we are so consumed by the things of this world that we give little thought to the ETERNITY YOU have prepared for those who love YOU. So we turn to YOU. We ask YOU to remove our hearts of stone and give us hearts that reflect the heart of GOD. We ask YOU to help us to see the treasure of earth as the refuse that it is. We ask YOU to help us to look beyond the horizon of a new year and let us see YOUR KINGDOM. We ask YOU to help us to see beyond ourselves and see YOU. No matter what the new year brings -- whether peace or war, whether love or more animosity, whether the dreariness of time or the glory of Heaven, let 2024 be a year of REVIVAL. Let 2024 be a year of foolish mankind turning back to the wisdom, the joy, the peace, the love, the hope, the glory of the CHRIST who died to set us free, who holds our true treasure. May our LORD'S finest blessings, both temporal and spiritual, overtake you in the NEW YEAR as you leave the mundanity of earth behind and follow after the glory of ETERNITY. HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
