A New Year..A New Hope

Everyone looks forward to a New year, even though, we all know that nothing magically happens overnight. Nothing changes when the clock strikes 12. Debts do not magically disappear, diseases don't get cured overnight, wars may not end, poverty will still exist, broken relationships may not get fixed... But New Hope arises at the dawn of a New year! ... There is nothing stronger than Hope. It is greater than fear.  

Faith in God and Hope is what keeps us going every day and new year's eve serves as a good reminder. "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." - Romans 5:1-5

So looking back, I look ahead with faith yet again. Knowing that the God of Hope will see me through the new year as well.. So I wish you all a hope filled year... "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." - Romans 15:13
