-Another New Year...another year closer to eternity. Oh Lord, my Lord, help me to live my life in You and to gratefully savor each day that I have left.


+The old expression, "Waste not. Want not." is full of wisdom. Time has a way of fooling even the most heavenly-minded ones. The days are short and few. The time of using this life I've given you as best you can is NOW! Actually, an "as it is in Heaven" mindset automatically sets you in the eternal Now, where there is no passing time...only NOW! This is the challenge and the path to a free life! You live your true life - your already-eternal life - in Me, and so, all the impossibilities and limitations of earth-bound time melt away and all things are now possible. You have been given the mind of Christ. This gives you the power and creativity to face each moment of your life as a child of the Kingdom. Nothing...nothing is impossible! You are with/in God! so consequently, ALL things are possible! Walk through the minutes and the hours of this day, knowing that your faith creates a path through all the time zones, all the measurements that tick and count. I am the One Who keeps every heart beating like the ultimate, internal clock. I silently monitor and work the valves that keep life flushing through your veins...rivers of life kept flowing by My design. Now, just as a person can go through his or her whole life oblivious to the machinations I keep so meticulously running, so you can let this elusive gift of time slip away...disappearing into this cold, winter day, unmindful of the Majesty that is ever beckoning..the Reality that is perpetually true. Be very intentional, then, to be conscious of all the gifts and blessings you take for granted; your body, so fearfully and wonderfully made; your senses, given to bring you pleasure and nourishment; and most importantly, the people I have carefully chosen to be in your life...people put there for you to bless and to love with eternal Love. I have given you everything you could ever need to live a life of joy and blessing...of fruitfulness and freedom. I want you to live under My yoke of timeless freedom. This yoke looks like a constraint, but is the exact opposite; it is My instrument of liberation. Indeed, My yoke is easy. All of heaven, throughout all time, bears witness to the glory and splendor of My ways. Learn of Me. Live each moment very aware of the Spirit within you. He is the Gift that cannot ever be revoked or returned. You have been baptized outside of time...with Fire! This is not for yourself, but so...like Me...you can hear the Father's Voice in everything you do. It is a new year, and in the world you will face tribulation and trouble, but in Me...since every moment is New...you can live undaunted in complete peace; confident, full of courage, certain and full of good cheer. Be completely Mine. Remember, you are safe and protected from all the ravishes of time because you are eternally now in Me forever! You are Free! Every moment has been redeemed and set like a gem into eternity. This is cause for great rejoicing. So rejoice, my beloved one, rejoice!
