❤️Psalm 107:1-2❤️
❤️Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble.
❤️Mark 5:19❤️
❤️ And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”
This week I will be gathering more video testimonies similar to last new year to share on this page. I hope they are an encouragement to you as they were certainly to me last year. I have one from a close friend whose story so amazingly displays God’s favor and care in every detail that it’s hard for me to not share it right this minute! God is just so so good! During church today, we went into a time of sharing testimonies during worship and an hour in, I was completely blown away by God’s overwhelming goodness. We must share our stories for they showcase His power, glory, goodness, and love. There are people living life without hope, carrying devastating burdens, and searching for something, some way, some how to get up out of the life-choking darkness that surrounds them. Your story could be the very thing that helps lead them to Christ or helps them find hope lighting their way out from a bleak and dark time in their life. With all of that being written, if you have a testimony from this last year you’d like to share, please comment below and I pray for God to give you the courage to share with those He places around you who may need to hear it and be blessed by it.
With the arrival of the new year comes a time of reflection for many. A time to celebrate triumphs, remember loved ones who have passed, give thanks for the blessings, and to hope for brighter days to come in the new year. Resolutions, new commitments, rededications are made as many strive for a better year, a better self, a better life. I encourage you to dedicate having Christ at the center of all of it and listen closely to what He has for you in this new year. His plans are always good and He has more in store for you that will not disappoint.
For many though, this may have been a year heavy-laden with deep hurts, loss, pain, and brokenness. For those who have struggled this year, I pray for peace, love, joy, and a hope to fill you as you enter the new year. These only come fully from the Lord and I pray you know Him and feel the great love He has for you. He is fighting on your behalf, He is working in all situations, He has not and will not forsake you and while your battles may rage on…There is a hope that is found in Him for He has already gone before you and won the war. He has overcome so that you may overcome and through Him you are more than a conqueror and nothing can separate you from His great love.
I pray that 2019 is one each of you will find strength in the Lord to not just survive your circumstances, but to come through them thriving and knowing the goodness of the Lord is found even amidst the darkness of tribulation. I pray for victories that have a clear view of God’s hand at work. I pray for a deeper relationship with your Abba, Heavenly Father. I pray you can experience life with a new and fresh perspective, enabling you to face this life head on, equipped with His armor, and ready to live life in the abundance and overwhelming joy He has for you. God is the God of more and He has so much more to lavish on His children. I pray you see the love He so richly gives you and accept all He has to offer you this year.
Thank you all for reading through my posts, listening to the worship wednesday songs, and watching the live videos. I hope to share more this next year as I draw closer to God and share what He leads me to write, discuss, and learn from through this page. Look for a video of testimonies this week and please feel free to share yours in writing below. Happy new year everyone! God bless! ❤️
Rooted in Christ
