‘Cause I know there is peace within Your presence
I speak Jesus”

Okay, Soul —
it’s *really* gonna be okay today, this week, this year.

Because in Him, whatever goes bad,
He’ll work it for good. It’s what God does.

He turned water into wine;
He will turn the broken into beautiful.

God’s *line of work* is *transformations* —
so hold on to Him as your *lifeline.*
*You can’t be undone.*

No matter what went down yesterday, (this year) —
today, (this coming year) is your very own fresh canvas and there really is hope:
*The future is as bright as the faithfulness of God.*

He says to you Himself:
“…don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present.
I’m about to do something brand new…
There it is! I’m making a road through the desert.”
(Isaiah 43:18 MSG)

Right now through your most unlikely desert places,
God is making unbelieveable roads… you better believe it!

Yeah, you can go face the day and this new year with brave joy —
God’s. got. your. back.


That’s all for this weekend, friends.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again

Share Whatever Is Good.
