I am entering 2020 feeling thankful, and so grateful, and on a high. The last few weeks of 2019 have been wonderful, and tonight, as photos and videos and new year greetings bombard me on the phone, I am reminded that we can all live well; He has done great things for me, and His blessings and love have already been so extravagantly poured out unto us.
It's no coincidence that this December has been so special. I have been sharing some thoughts with close friends, and tonight, it's come together nicely.
- May I live in His path of life, and laugh more, learn more, live more, love more. (Psalms 16:11)
- May I always turn to Him regardless - He is my Wonderful Counselor, my Mighty God, my Everlasting Father, my Prince of Peace. His zeal accomplishes. (Isa 9:6-7)
- May my soul and life magnify the Lord in 2020, in all that I am and do. May I magnify His Love, His Presence, His goodness. (Luke 1:46-49)
And there's actually a song that I've been recently listening to that brings together the above 3.
It is a song most sung during Christmas - Chris Tomlin's My Soul Magnifies the Lord, and it is such a beautiful song. (https://youtu.be/HHzevDE3xhU)
All these pictures are places that I am familiar and enchanted by in 2019.
The first is a beachfront near my place in AD - whole rows and lines of trees that remain throughout the seasons, and may I grow like that with much life and strength.
May I laugh more, be more joyful, be spontaneous, enjoy His creation and always be amazed - just like how I felt much life in the desert sand 1 week ago.
And when I am unsure, uncertain, and when there seems to be mist and fog over my eyes (just 2 days back my place was shrouded in heavy fog), may I always turn to my Abba Father - He will be my counsellor and guide, the mighty one, the one who fills my heart with peace. In Him, I will rest and breathe. Just like the setting sun and the close of day (whenever I run at MR), in Him, all has been done for me and I can rest knowing He is in control and I am His beloved.
May I live well in 2020. May my life magnify God's Love, Presence and Goodness in 2020.
