Only 364 Days Til Christmas
Whatever this past year had in store for you, whether laughter and happiness, sorrow and grief, or a mixture of all, embrace the joy of this season as you enter the new year!
No matter what you went through in 2007: YOU ARE STILL STANDING!
No matter how much you hurt in 2007: YOU ARE HERE!
No matter the depth of sorrow of 2007: YOU ARE ALIVE!
No matter the heaviness of 2007: YOU ARE BLESSED!
No matter what you went through, GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE! He knows where you are, who you are, and He is not finished with you! His plan is still in effect! GOD IS IN CONTROL!
It may not seem like He is---but it doesn't change the fact that He is! No matter how you feel right now, Jesus is Lord of all, He loves YOU, and if you'll maintain your faith and keep doing what is right---YOU WILL BE VICTORIOUS! And it might happen before next Christmas. It might just happen in 2008! It might all come together before you light the tree again, cook another turkey, travel to be with relatives, wrap another gift. It might just happen for you 364 days from today!
It might happen. It might not. What matters is that 364 days from today you are still standing, believing, living, and obeying. Make up you mind that NOTHING shall defeat you! Make up your mind that NOTHING will stand in your way! Make up in your mind that NOTHING, that NO ONE will keep you from VICTORY in JESUS!
