Me-Maw Thoughts
Number 103
January 1, 2013////
A new year. A new start. A Fresh sheet of paper to write the story of
our life. Regrets, embarrassments, confusions from last year are past
and as Paul tells us in Philippians 3:13-14:
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Forget the things that are behind. The times we messed up. The times
we did not follow through. The times we allowed the enemy to defeat us.
This life is a journey of ups and downs and even though we want to,
we cannot have a DO OVER for 2012.
What we can do is learn from ours and others mistakes. Everything that
has happened to each of us in 2012 can be used to help us make better
decisions and Love people better in 2013.
Paul had much to regret. He had persecuted those who believed in Jesus
and did it with all that was within him. He could have sat around and
wallowed in regret, but he chose to serve the Lord Jesus Christ with his
entire being.
What do you regret about 2012. What would you change? Determine that
in 2013 you are not going to repeat the same mistakes. If it is a dream that
you have let die, determine the steps that you are going to take to see that
dream come to pass.
As this new year unfolds before us let us commit each day, each circumstance,
and each dream and desire to the one who knows us and Loves us better
than any other. The one who placed the dreams and desires within each of us
can guide us in our journey to our destiny and the Blessings we can be and
receive along the way.
The creator God is able and willing to take each problem and circumstance
that we encounter in 2013 and work it out. What a Peace to know that we
serve one who can make it happen.
Let us take off the regrets, hurts and smashed dreams of 2012 and walk
forward into 2013 with a greater determination to fulfill all that He has
placed us here on earth to do.
I urge you to take a piece of paper and write down on one side all the good
things of 2012 and on the other all the difficult or bad things and you will
see that your Blessings always outweigh you problems.
I urge you to write down the things you want to accomplish in 2013 and
commit them to the Lord Jesus in prayer. He Loves you more than you
can comprehend and wants to help you in every area of your life.

Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. As I look back over 2012
I thank you for the incredible Blessings you bestowed on me. I thank
you for health and strength and family. I release to you every mistake,
hurts and messed up places of 2012 and determine that I will forget
those things and press toward the mark of being like Jesus. I
commit all who read this to your Lordship and ask you to be real to
them and let them know that you are on their side. Let them allow your
Love to fill them with Joy and Peace for this incredible year that is
ahead of us. You are on our side. How wonderful and exciting.
I ask buckets of Joy and Peace on my friends and family not just
today but for eternity. I LOVE YOU JESUS!!!! Amen
May 2013 be a year of truly understanding that you were created for a purpose.
Love,
Me-Maw
