Merry Christmas! 2012

Merry Christmas!

May God’s Joy and His Shalom Peace
be with you
in this Merry Season

What a year 2012 has been and how quickly it has come and gone ....or is going. 2013 is just around the corner and with it comes new challenges, hopes and aspirations for you and your love ones. Some you are aware of or even planned for and you know that life itself will bring its own challenges to add to yours.

Here then is our prayer for you. May all your hopes and aspirations in the New Year come to fruition with the blessings and favours poured into you from our Lord Jesus the Christ. With His blessings comes strength and wisdom to face the challenges that come your way.

The following are words that I came across from my readings and I am making it my personal prayer for the New Year. Will it also be yours?

Take my heart
and make it
Your dwelling place
so that everyone
I touch
will be touched also
by You!

Words by Alice Joyce Davidson

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Bible Verses

1 John 4:17-18 (NLT)
¹⁷ And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in this world.
¹⁸ Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of judgment, and this shows that his love has not been perfected in us.

Hebrews 9:12 (NLT)
¹² Once for all time he took blood into that Most Holy Place, but not the blood of goats and calves. He took his own blood, and with it he secured our salvation forever.

Romans 5:17 (NLT)
¹⁷The sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over us, but all who receive God's wonderful, gracious gift of righteousness will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:26-27 (NLT)
²⁶Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world's eyes, or powerful, or wealthy when God called you. ²⁷Instead, God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful.

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NLT)
⁸ "My thoughts are completely different from yours," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
⁹For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Hebrew 8:8-13 (NLT)
¹² And I will forgive their wrongdoings,
and I will never again remember their sins."

⁷"Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight.
⁸Yes, what joy for those whose sin is no longer counted against them by the Lord."

¹So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus

John 3:16-17 (NLT)
¹⁶"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it."
