May God blesses you and your family abundantly in the New Year.
 May you always enjoy the Love of God, family, friends, church, ...
 May you be blessed with Joy, Peace, Grace, Health, Happiness,..
And always Pray with Hope in Him
 May you continue enjoy New Experiences with God,
 May your walk with the LORD be closer than ever.

-- John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

-- John 12:46
I have come into the world as a Light,
so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.

-- Romans 15:13
May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with Hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
"Give me the light that I may tread safely into the unknown."
And he replied:
"Go into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way."
-- M. Louise Haskins



"God Of Hope"

I just want to say thank You
For this life You've given me
For all the wondrous blessings
For setting my spirit free

You are such an awesome God
Who only gives the best
Giving us a life of Hope
When we face all kinds of tests

For often we face in life
Struggles of every kind
Little things can get us down
And peace is far from our minds

But You give Hope to carry on
No matter what we face
When we feel like giving up
Unable to finish the race

You step in just in time
With angels heaven sent
To encourage us to carry on
And to give us extra strength

So I praise You Lord for whom You are
And for all that I can be
For I’d never have a better life
Apart from Your life in me.

-- M.S.Lowndes.

-- 1 John 5:14
This is the confidence we have in approaching God:
that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

-- Psalms 130:5-6
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in His Word I put my Hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.

-- Psalms 62:5-8
5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my Hope comes from Him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God;
He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in Him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.



Tomorrow's A Brand New Day

Sometimes it's hard to accept
the many disappointment in life we face
But we have to believe there's some reason
and hold onto the Lords Grace.

For what seems to be so unfair
and so difficult for us to understand
Is just a small piece of the puzzle
of our life that God has planned.

And as each door will close
they say a window will open its eyes
and life will bring about changes
and with each new day - a surprise!

So believe in all of Gods love
and know it surrounds you every day
with courage and strength you will make it through.
for tomorrow's a Brand New Day!!

-- 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good Hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

-- 2 Corinthians 5:17-20
++ 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!

18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.



You Are Loved

May God reach down
and love you
in His own special way.

May you know
you're loved,
each and every day.

May you see,
from God's dear eyes,
the value of your worth.

May His love show you
the most precious things
on this earth.

-- Joyce C. Lock

-- Titus 3:4-7
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 So that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the Hope of eternal life.



God always answers in the deeps,
never in the shallows of our soul. – Anonymous

For however devoted you are to God, you may be sure that He is immeasurably more devoted to you. -- Meister Eckhart

More knowledge of God leads to a higher form of worship.
-- Unknown

Hope doesn't come from calculating whether the good news is winning out over the bad. It's simply a choice to take action. -- Anna Lappe

The miserable have no other medicine But only Hope.
-- William Shakespeare

While there's life, there's Hope. -- Cicero (... and God gives life)

Faith is different from proof; the latter is human,
the former is a Gift from God. -- Blaise Pascal



-- John 14:1-2
+ 1 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s House are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.

-- John 15:5
+ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

-- 1 Corinthians 15:19
+ If Christ is our Hope in this life only,
we deserve more pity than any other people.

-- Romans 5:1-5
+ 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the Hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, Hope. 5 And Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

-- Titus 1:1-2
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness -- 2 a faith and knowledge resting on the Hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time.

-- Psalms 65:5
+ You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

-- Psalms 25:4-14
(A Prayer for defense, guidance, and pardon. As we trust
and Hope in God, He grants these same requests to us.)

4 Show me Your ways, O LORD,
teach me Your paths;
5 guide me in Your truth and teach me,
for You are God my Savior,
and my Hope is in You all day long.
6 Remember, O LORD,
Your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to Your love remember me,
for You are good, O LORD.

8 Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore He instructs sinners in the ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them His way.
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving
and faithful for those who keep the demands of His covenant.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12 Who are they that fear the LORD?
He will teach them the way that they should choose.
13 They will abide in prosperity,
and their children will possess the land.
14 The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear Him,
and He makes His covenant known to them.


-- Romans 8:1-2, 24-28
+ [Salvation] 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
+ [Hope] 24 For in this Hope we were saved. But Hope that is seen is no Hope at all. Who Hopes for what he already has? 25 But if we Hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
+ [Holy Spirit, Prayer] 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.

+ [God's Will] 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

-- Philippians 4:4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

++ 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.



Faith and Hope in God    +*_*+     Happy New Year 2009!
