New Year

I came across the above in my great

 Grandma's remembrance book and

 thought it was a helpful reminder. 

Personally I seem to have mixed feelings

 about new years, so I'm very glad for this

 promise from Matthew 28. "lo, I am with

 you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen." "

No matter what happens in 2020, we don't 

face it alone. 

The Lord has promised to be with His 

people and His plans really are the best!

God's Will

Thy Will be done
From In Green Pastures
by JR Miller D. D.

God's will for us leads us on earth to the noblest, truest, most Christ-like character, and then beyond this world to glory and eternal life. For you, whatever your experiences, however hard and painful life may seem to you, God's will is the very hand of divine love to lead you on toward all that is good and beautiful and blessed. Never doubt it, even in the darkest hour, or when the pain is sorest, or when the cross is heaviest. God's will holds you ever close to God, and leads you ever toward and into God's sweetest rest. It brings peace to the heart - a peace that never can come in any way of our own choosing - to be able always to say, "Thy will be done."

Another excerpt from a Susan Warner book

"Paul said he was an apostle 'by the will of God'; and whatever I may be, it shall be by the same will.
I am the Lord's servant; what He wants me to do, I will do, and He will show me what that is."

   "But Stephen, everything in this world is not for duty? Don't you allow some little chink or cranny where pleasure comes in?"

Stephen smiled, a smile that astonished his friend, and almost silenced him. "I have no greater pleasure than to do the will of God," he said. "See Charles, you do not understand it, because you do not know Him, but I know Him. He has redeemed me, and forgiven me, and adopted me; He has made me inexpressibly happy with His presence: I am not living without pleasure, I am full of it; and the only thing I wish for further in this world is to do what work my Lord has for me to do, and so please Him."

"Stephen M.D."
