GREATNESS IS MADE TO BE SHARED

GREATNESS IS MADE TO BE SHARED

We are all familiar with lines from Ecclesiastes 3. The first verse reads: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” As we know, some things happen immediately, and some things take longer. It took the Israelites 40 years to get to the entrance into the promised land. I believe many of us are at the entrance into our promised land as well.

 

But as the Israelites discovered, when they first went into the land God gave them, there were giants and mighty kings they had to battle. And God wouldn’t allow anyone to fully enjoy the fullness of what this new land promised until everyone was in!

 

That’s how I feel about this upcoming year. We, as individuals in the body of Christ, are stepping into a new place, a wonderful place. We are leaving behind what is past and not letting it dictate or captivate our futures. We have places to go, people to see, new adventures, new delights, and new encounters with greatness.

 

But we are not alone. We need to stretch out our prayer to encompass more individuals in the body of Christ, reaching out in our empathy, reaching higher in our faith. People desperately need our sincere, Christ-inspired prayer, as well as our giftings in our many other fields of service.

 

The Lord Jesus will show us as individuals and groups, how to do the Father’s will in every aspect of our lives, and let’s expect an amazing year.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL AND AMAZING 2023 TO ALL!

 

Love, Carolyn
