In my daily interactions with people I hear some say they are glad to see 2016 end and a new year begin...for others this was a good year and look forward to 2017. What's your summation of 2016? Have you looked back to analyze the good and bad times? Hopefully the good far outweighed the bad.
As Christians, I think it's very important to know that God desires for you to have a positive attitude and embrace each moment weather good or bad. God has a purpose for each blessing and hurdle that comes your way and it's part of His plan to encourage you, mature you and grow in your relationship with Him. Nothing happens outside His knowledge or protective hand.
With that said, we should rejoice in everything that's happened this year and know that it's being used for your benefit. Your possessions, or lack of, aren't a sign of God's blessings and love for you....no...it's the life He has given to you. A life open to God's possibilities and pursuing opportunities for spiritual growth is what we are called to do...all for His glory.
Give God thanks for 2016. You survived the year and He has blessed you with another day. Look to 2017 with eagerness to serve Him daily and pursuing His plan for your life through prayer and reading the bible. God bless and Happy New Year friend!
