We are still at the beginning of the new year. This encouraging word reminds us that lasting transformation is an encounter away.

Be encouraged by this poweful word! As a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17) we are called to unreasonable optimism and bringing powerful encounters to the world around us.

John 5:2-7 ...."Do you want to be made well?;;;" When asked if he wanted to be made well, he answered why it couldn't happen, rather than saying yes. Dissappointment can cloud your vision.

Mark 1:15““The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!””

We should never lose the wonder of the story of Christ. The promise fulfilled, the majesty of the angelic announcement and the humility of the manger. The wonder of it all!

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 2 Cor. 9:10
