As we stand on the cusp of a new year, it is the perfect moment to reflect on 2024—a year filled with God’s unwavering faithfulness. Amid its joys and challenges, we have seen His grace guiding us, shaping our paths, and renewing our spirits. The transition to 2025 invites us to both thank God for the blessings we’ve received and seek His wisdom for the journey ahead.
Reflecting on 2024 with gratitude. The year gone by has been a mosaic of triumphs and trials. We have rejoiced in milestones—welcoming new family members, advancing in careers, or deepening our spiritual walk. These moments remind us of Psalm 106:1: “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.”
Yet, we’ve also faced hardships. Whether illness, loss, or personal struggles, these moments taught us to lean on God’s strength. As Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Through every challenge, we found His power sustaining us, reassuring us of His ever-present care.
Anticipating 2025 with hope. As we step into 2025, our hearts are filled with hope. While the future remains uncertain, our trust lies in the One who holds it. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Let us walk with faith, seeking God’s wisdom in our plans and allowing His Word and Spirit to lead us. Now is the time to renew our commitment to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, to love His creation unconditionally, to share the gospel, and to live out Christ’s love in our communities.
As we welcome 2025, may our hearts overflow with gratitude and trust, knowing God is with us every step of the way.
