A NEW LIFE WITH A NEW VIEW

A NEW LIFE WITH A NEW VIEW


Jesus' life-death-and RESURRECTION-
CHANGED EVERYTHING for us
For our journey through life


I t gave us a new perspective-a
NEW VIEW=and a new HOPE
in life


“BLOW the trumpet
In Zion!
Proclaim a fast
Call an assembly
GATHER the people........” Joel 2:15-16


And just as OUR JOURNEY
Is ongoing-we must know
It is not an easy walk


It takes us through
Descending and ascending walkways
High walls on either side
Of us-and mountains and crossings
That we thought we could
NEVER CROSS


And that doesn't even begin to
Take into account
The spiritual and emotional challenges
Of our journey


SINCE Jesus did it already
We have a PATH to FOLLOW
And it will provide us
A new life and a NEW VIEW


ONE WITH HOPE


“For your ways
Are in FULL VIEW
Of the Lord


And he examines
ALL your paths” Proverbs 5:21


“In the PRESENCE of God
And of Christ Jesus


Who will judge the living
And the dead
And in view of his appearing
And his kingdom


I GIVE you this charge:


PREACH the word-
BE PREPARED in season
And out of season;


Correct-rebuke-and ENCOURAGE
With great patience and careful instruction” 2 Timothy 4:1-2


Dear FRIENDS=you will go through seasons
Of much DOUBT


But because of Jesus
You have a life with
NEW PERSPECTIVE-NEW HOPE


PRESS onward
Through the journey
With other travelers


Give love and RECEIVE LOVE
Give HOPE and receive hope


Travel the reality
Of the new life
THIS LENTEN SEASON


And to this new reality
of the new life
Let us travel in FAITH-
In hope and in LOVE


LET US give all we have
This LENT and have nothing left
But faith-hope and love
Just as Jesus did


“And NOW these three remain
Faith-hope-and LOVE


But the GREATEST of these
IS LOVE” 1 Corinthians 13:13


And at the end of OUR LENTEN JOURNEY
When we have completed it


We will have a new life-a
new perspective-and a NEW VIEW


A life like Jesus'
That will last


HAPPY LENT EVERYONE!
I LOVE YOU ALL!
