NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
Another year has passed and God has granted me the pleasure
Of living in his wonderful created earth
I want to thank him for each and every minute he gives me
to live on this earth, it is one of my most blessed treasures
Seems life is short even if we live a 100 years
Sometimes it brings me down to tears!
Why is this I wonder?
Time passes slowly as I watch and wait for New Years Eve 2007
It is a special day for me, because more than ever
My thoughts go toward my new home in Heaven
Maybe, I’m getting older and wiser, I don’t know
But
It is the New Years Eve thing that makes me stop
And take control of all my thoughts
I must meditate and recap the year 2006
I ask myself this question, in all the things of God,
What did I miss?
What have I done this year to contribute to the things of God?
It is here that I lose my breath and say,” Please, God forgive me”!
I have really fallen short of his glory
I tremble inside and instantly bend my knees.
We must all get in a hurry because it won’t be long now until
We hear the trumpet sound
I’ve been waiting for years to lift off this ground.
I don’t want to be left standing looking up
When all Gods children leave this earth
He gave his Son to us that we might live
Now, I stop and ask myself
What have I given back to him?
Did I feed a beggar on the street?
Did I buy groceries for that family on Bowles Circle
Whose dad is out of work
And all they see is trouble
A ask myself this, “What have I done for God in this year 2006”?
Did I testify for him as my feet traveled through the year
Did I spread good tidings and cheer?
My Father, please let me plant the right seeds
I must tell them that God is able to supply all their needs
And that he hears even the tiny whispers of his children
That he has a table spread where they can come and dine at anytime.
The most important thing is this:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life
Being a Christian is more than going inside the
Doors of a church house
It is saying, “I will Lord, Yes, I will”
What has he ask you to do lately?
Did you hear a tiny voice saying
“Give and it shall be given back to you”
Then what did you do
Like me, did you say, “Lord is that really you”?
Oh Lord, I ask you to help me in the year of 2007
I want to be absolutely ready to enter the gates of heaven
I ask you Oh Lord, “to help me be more like you”
I give me to you, take me and use me
Help me to make them see
That the only real peace is you,
That you will make them brand new
I want to be ready to spread the gospel of Christ
I want to be totally guilty when someone says to me,
“Mary, are you really a Christian”?
I want to scream it out loud to the entire world
Yes, I am a Christian and proud of it
Yes, I do love the Lord; He is the rock of my salvation
On him, I can depend, until the very end!
So in the coming year of 2007, let’s celebrate Jesus name
For I am here to tell you, we are not playing a game
The Devil is raging and waging war
For he doesn’t have long to work
So come on, pick up your sword and shield
Let’s get in the center of Gods will
Let’s wage war on the Devil, Let’s show him who we are
Let’s be a strong tower
IN THE NAME OF JESUS WE HAVE THE POWER!
Please have a Jesus New Year!
