Hebrews 4:14-16

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

The last Wednesday of 2017. What a year!!! I know that every single one of you have ben challengened and tempted and tested beyond your limits. I know that for many of you the very thought of facing another day was so hard but yet there was something deep in your heart that even the mind could not comprehend that kept you from giving up.

I know because of Hebrews 4:14-16 " Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

Yes, the year of 2017 had its challenges - those moments when you wanted to shout or cry or kick something or collapse into a heap.
Yes, the year of 2017 had its rewards - those moments when you jumped up and down or laughed so hard that your belly hurt or was awestruck by the beauty or stilled by the sound or captured by the Love given and received.

Yes, 2017 each day filled with His tender mercies, each day filled with rejoicing, each second, moment, and hour filled with HIM.

As the year of 2017 comes to an end I pray that each dear and precious sister-in-Christ, yes, you my dear and precious friend, may we "therefore, let us draw near with Confidence to the Throne of Grace, so that we may receive mercy and find Grace to help in time of need." This is a mystery!! A marvelous and rich mystery that the LORD reveals to us at just the right time and place and hour when needed.

Abba Father, Praise to thee and thank You for each second, moment, and hour of 2017 given to us by You. Lord I pray that as this year comes to an end that each dear and precious sister-in-Christ would embrace ALL of the days which You planned and purposed and guided and directed and carried and kept just for them. And as they say goodbye to 2017 may it be with thankfulness for Your Peace which passes all understanding, Your Joy which is their Strength, Your Hope which is believed, and Your Love which has no bounds. In the Precious Name of Jesus, the Name above ALL names, Amen.

Embracing That Which Has Already Been Given,
