GETTING OUR PRIORITIES RIGHT IN 2016

GETTING OUR PRIORITIES RIGHT= IN 2016 As we CLOSE the old year And open the new=2016 Even if we haven't done it In the past Let us MAKE THE EFFORT To get our priorities right This year “Do not love........ The things of this world” 1 John 2:15 First of all Let us make the EFFORT To be THANKFUL THANKFUL to God For our very lives For we can do nothing Without that THANKFUL to our families To our friends- And to our churches For all the LOVE AND KINDNESS They bestow on us For NONE of us Are capable Of living life alone=successfully We need others- And their fellowship The things of this world Are meant to be used To be USED UP Or to be PASSED ON To HELP someone else today In some way Material things Do not matter We cannot take them With us When we move on- HOPEFULLY-to the next world LOVE-however-is ETERNAL As is OUR GOD It is the ONE THING We can never run out of Therefore We should PASS ALONG ALL the love we have To others It has ETERNAL consequences As God and Jesus' life PROVES “Your word Lord Is ETERNAL It stands firm In the heavens” Psalm 119:89 And in John 3:15-16 We read ONE of the MOST FANOUS quotes in the bible “Just as Moses Lifted up the snake in the wilderness So the SON OF MAN Must be lifted up That EVERYONE who believes May have ETERNAL LIFE In him” John 3:15 “For GOD so LOVED The world That he gave his and ONLY SON That whoever BELIEVES in him Shall NOT PERISH But have ETERNAL LIFE” John 3:16 So as-2015 draws To a close IF we have built our lives On worldly values- Like sex-money drugs-alcohol- etc., etc., etc., Let us TURN BACK to the PROPER PRIORITIES LOVE-forgiveness-kindness- And put our faith in God And Jesus And let us LOVE GOD-and family and friends And ALL PEOPLE INFINITELY AND UNCONDITIONALLY For if we do that Then we will have OUR PRIORITIES RIGHT And we will have A SUCCESSFUL 2016 HAPPY NEW YEAR!-HAPPY 2016!
