No Looking Back

2006 is finally over! I was taught not to wish time away, but 2006 was a stressful one for me so I'm glad it's over! Maybe I'm just glad the stressful things I found so distressing are behind me now and I will probably be faced with new trials this year that I've never known before. (If I knew them they wouldn't be stressful!) I've learned this year that I don't have to be perfect in order to know that God loves me. I struggled with that for over 50 years! That fact finally dawned on me as if the sun were just coming over the horizon and you look fully into the sun! What a relief just to know I could stop struggling to be perfect. Perfect used in the Bible means mature, but the perfect I struggled with was flaws and/or faults. I finally came to understand that God knew all about me before I was even conceived in my mother's womb. That is an awesome piece to fathom, but I never really grasped the truth before like this past year. No one need struggle with perfection. You cannot attain it in this life, which has been imperfected by sin. Jesus makes all the difference in the world. Meeting Him and falling in love with Him is the best thing that I've ever done. I hope this coming year of 2007 brings blessings you have been waiting for and His peace that passes all understanding. May you know good health and healing in all areas of your life and may you know the love of God; the length, breadth, depth and height of it this year as never before. God bless you all with a wonderful life this year of 2007!
