A Good Year...

Though we are at the end of the first month of the year, it is still relatively a new year. With that being said, I came across this piece that I had scribbled a while ago and decided that it would be appropriate to share it now.

"A Good Year" - winemakers talk about this. Do they know that it will be a good year before the wines are produced or is it something they can only see once the grapes are harvested?

In life, looking back, "A Good Year" involves looking at things that have passed, things that have ended, moments gone. It is in one's memories.

In looking forward "A Good Year" promises things to hope for, wishes to be fulfilled.

As people who put their faith in God, how are we supposed to look at "A Good Year"?

In God's eyes it would appear that we should look at it positively. "Good" is a positive word. God is a God of good things. Love is positive, full of hope, encouragement - He is Love. God is a God of abundance; He has come to give us life in abundance. He wants the best for us.

Life is about learning from our past - mistakes, failures, victories and good things. It is also about looking to our future, because that is where we are heading, whether we like it or not.

If we put our faith in Christ, then our future will surely hold "A Good Year" - Jeremiah 29:11-13
