Happy and Blessed New Year! I pray this year will be the best and brightest year yet! I pray it will be filled with much love, joy, peace, forbearance (patience), goodness, faithfulness and self-control that is the Fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23.
I’ve been praying about my “One Word” for this year. I’m delighted to share that my word for 2020 is:
SHINE
The verse that comes to mind when I think about the word Shine is:
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 NIV)
I’m looking forward to sharing how the Lord brings the word Shine to life in my life this year.
And I encourage you to Shine where God has placed you. May you Shine for Jesus and be a beacon of light and hope at home, work, school and in your community and beyond.
It’s tempting to want to shrink back and sit on the sidelines these days, but God is calling His people to arise and Shine for His glory.
