PASTOR SUE’S PEARLS FROM ABOVE
Every new year, we are told to leave everything in the previous year and start fresh, but I want to encourage you to LOOK back! Not on hurts, bad times, loses, failures, etc., but on how God brought you through it all! He didn’t just bring you through last year, but every year you have been on this earth. Some years were harder than others, but you still made it, because the Lord was with you.
Look back on previous years, even 20 or 30 years ago, and remember what God did for you or someone close to you, remember how he was always there, always with you, always bringing you comfort, peace, help, hope!
Remember all the times he healed sickness, diseases, hurts. Remember how he brought comfort through loss, peace through pain, salvation to hearts.
Remember how he showed up at the midnight hour and dried your tears.
Remember all the times you didn’t know how you were going to make it, or how situations were going to work out, and you called upon the name of the Lord, and he turned things around for you, he showed you what to do, he made a way that no one else could do. Remember the times he brought calm out of chaos, restored your family, brought loved ones closer together. Saved marriages, and relationships.
Remember when he saved you from car wrecks, or accidents that should have caused you great harm. Remember healings when the Dr.’s gave no hope.
Remember the food on your table, because he moved on someone to bring you groceries, or sent someone to help you in time of need! Remember that through it all, you learned to trust in Jesus, and looking back on all he has already done for you, will increase your faith, bring more assurance and hope that he will continue to bring you through even in the days ahead.
Our Father is faithful!...God bless
