22 Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassion's
never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

elcome to 2017!
Here we are starting a brand new year. Everyone's hopes are high, believing that they have a new chance to accomplish things this year that didn't happen last year. Its time to shake off the what if's and attack with a new zeal and strength. What can you do this year to overcome the struggles of last year? What can you change to make sure that in 2017 you are more effective for the Kingdom of God then ever before?
Just like the words in the verse above, I am so glad for God's great love that constantly gives us a fresh start. So no matter how you felt about 2016, it is time to arise and look out upon a fresh new year and start taking steps towards the new opportunities that await you in 2017. It is a time for rejoicing, hope and a new beginning. Let's not try to make this like last year or even like the best times in your past. Instead let's seek God and find what it is that He desires to do today and make that happen in our lives and the world around us.
My goal for 2017 is to look more and more like Jesus here on this earth. Think of the impact that we could have for the Kingdom of God if we all look and live like Jesus. I can't wait to see you in 2017! Make it a great year.
