Happy New Year

A prayer for the new year and every year. If only the world would give it its rightful place in their lives, what a different world we could be living in.



I know that you long to fulfill everything I've asked of you, but what I long for the most is to see you happy, living in joy, going to bed each night tired but with a feeling of fulfillment and happiness, and truly loving your life.



There's no way I'll be able to magically wipe away all your fears and worries—at least not on Earth—but there most certainly is a way to relieve them. Do you know what that is? It's in the Bible: "Become as a little child" you can learn from their example of living more for the moment, and enjoying the simple things in life.



Enjoy the time you have right now. If you don't enjoy it right now, you really don't get another chance. You can reminisce about good times or regret bad times. You can remember with fondness how you did enjoy the moment, or lament that you didn't. But the only actual time you can enjoy the moment is right now, at the moment. So seize the moment! Seize the joy!



Do you know the secret to a merry heart?—Don't take life so seriously! I spent a major part of My ministry trying to get people to lighten up a bit and enjoy life and the beauty of God's creation, as well as wine, women, and songs!



So HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!!
