Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
2011 it's new

It’s a new year with great expectations. It reminds me of the new life we have in Him. We are literally New Creatures that never before existed. So many times we carry too much from the old life not realizing that He provides everything for the new life and we need nothing from the old. Yet the old seems so comfortable. The realm of sense knowledge is so easy to rest in, needing to see the evidence of the old without the embrace of the new. The thought of the new with all it’s mystery and excitement is too often intimidating.
The enemy does his best to convince us that the new life is too demanding, hard and difficult and that the old is much more enjoyable and comfortable. However, the new carries with it His presence, and air of total dependence and reliance on His care and love. Not knowing the future but trusting that His plan is the best. We are new creatures designed to experience all the new things in this kingdom called heaven. I encourage you to embrace this new life and leave the other behind.

HIS LOVE when we Behold HIS LOVE for us we are transformed from glory to glory in His Presence. The desire of His heart becomes the desire our hearts.....Eyes that burn with the flames of LOVE. Looking deep into HIS eyes that flame with LOVE, those flames are a consuming fire THEY will burn in me
2 Corinthians 5:16-18 (New Living Translation)
16 So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now!
( We get to embrace the concept of loving people truely in the spiritual sense that He lavishes His love in us and through us to others. )
17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
( Feeding on this word, The bible is not a rule book to beat others with, it is a feeding book for our New Life. )
18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him.
( Every moment and interaction that flows will magnify His Presence in ability to recieve HIs love to be the New Creation He has formed. )
