LETTING GO AND MOVING FORWARD

LETTING GO AND MOVING FORWARD


We are STANDING on the
THRESHOLD of a brand NEW YEAR=
BEFORE we step forward
Into tomorrow


Let us LET GO=
MAKE PEACE with our past
And then STEP forward
Into TOMORROW


“And let the PEACE of CHRIST
Control your hearts


The PEACE
Into which you were also called
In ONE BODY


And be THANKFUL” Colossians 3:15


Yes=let us be thankful
For this PAST YEAR


And ask God to BLESS all
Who were a PART of it
For our past makes us
WHO we are today


The CHANGE that we will
SEE tomorrow will be
Just a date


UNLESS we let the past GO
And USE the past
To CHANGE into someone
BETTER=in the future


CHANGING for the better
As we MOVE FORWARD
Into the FUTURE


“If you=
Really CHANGE YOUR WAYS
And your actions


And deal with each other JUSTLY


If you do NOT
Oppress the foreigner
The fatherless
Or the widow
…...............” Jeremiah 7:5


Yes=let us CHANGE=and
BE BETTER PEOPLE
In the future


And let us FIND
The PEACE OF CHRIST


As we let go of the PAST=
Make PEACE with it
And MOVE FORWARD into the future


“Consider the blameless
OBSERVE the upright


A future AWAITS
Those who SEEK PEACE” Psalm 37:37


“PEACE I leave with you
MY peace-I GIVE you


I do NOT give to you
As the world gives


DO NOT
Let your hearts be troubled
And do NOT BE AFRAID” John 14:27


“I urge then-
First of all
That petitions-PRAYERS


Intercession-and THAKSGIVING-
Be MADE for all people


For kings-and those in AUTHORITY
That we may LIVE PEACEFUL
And quiet lives


In ALL godliness and holiness” 1 Timothy 2:2


Dear LORD=we PRAY for all
Those from our past as we
MOVE FORWARD
Into the future


And LOOK to find peace


We pray that you HELP US
Let GO of anything that weighs
Us down


As we CHANGE for the BETTER


And MOVE FORWARD into the
THRESHHOLD of the future
With OPEN-LOVING ARMS


HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FAMILY
And MY FRIENDS


I LOVE YOU ALL!
