Psalm 62:5-6 ... "Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. 

Be encouraged 

No, looking back at the old year. Things we say or do that don't represent Christ. We must put it aside. This bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new.

Revelations 21:5 says God will make all things new. 

 What are you expecting from God in this new season?  

Isaiah 43:18-19 says “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness

And rivers in the desert.

Note: This is only the beginning. 

Whatever (that something is), allow God to handle it.  

Note: Don't let YOUR something overtake you.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. Psalms 94:19

 Summary: That something could be (fear, doubt, jealousy, envy, bitterness, resentment, rejection, hatred, feeling lonely) let it go!

 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalms 46:10

One size fits all. Note: You don't have to exchange his gift of love, joy, peace and forgiveness. 

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” 

Appreciating God's Peace in the midst of confusion. 

   When you are feeling overwhelmed, always remember that God will give you peace in the midst of the storm.

Philippians 4:7 And the Peace Of God, which passeth all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  

A description of God’s Love (The perfect gift) we all need God’s love in our hearts the world is filled with hate and turmoil etc. It’s not about having gifts under the tree. It’s about having the Love of God shed abroad in our hearts. Romans 5:5 because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 

 Jesus loves us so much that he sent his only begotten son to die on the cross for our sins. He loves unconditionally; he said he will never leave us nor forsake us. Others may have forsaken you. But God’s love will remain forever. 

Quote: When you feel rejected, hurt, or lonely by someone you thought was in your corner to love you for a lifetime dear heart remember God loves you; he said he will never leave you nor forsake you. Amen 

"Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God" 

(Philippians 2:14-15). 

Subtopic: Will you give God an opportunity to work on your behalf by trusting him, or will you miss out on his provision by complaining?

 Quote: Don't allow the enemy to dim your light by complaining.
