As 2021 comes to a close let us not look back on all the things that happened this past year with heartache or envy for it has truly been a year of heartache and disappointment for many. Let's look to the future for the hope that 2022 brings. God already knows the paths we will walk as we welcome in this new year. Let's make a commitment to walk with Him daily as we study His Word and grow in strength and knowledge. Let's welcome this new year and celebrate it with all the fruits of spirit that God has blessed us with.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23
Another Year is Dawning
by Frances Havergal
Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be
In working or in waiting, another year with Thee;
Another year of progress, another year of praise,
Another year of proving Thy presence all the days.
Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace,
Another year of gladness in the shining of Thy face;
Another year of leaning upon Thy loving breast;
Another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest.
Another year of service, of witness for Thy love,
Another year of training for holier work above;
Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be
On earth or else in Heaven, another year for Thee.
