To wrap up these verses, REMAIN IN CHRIST, no matter what this year holds we must remain in Him, then and ONLY then will we have everything we need for anything that comes our way.
I know this is all easier said than done, but don't start this year without someone that you can trust to remind you of these things, and keep you accountable. Though we may fail these truths never do.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.Psalm 73:26
Live Love in Action this Year:
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord. On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him.
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:9-21
