New Year's Greetings and Inspirational Thoughts at the Turn of 2023-2024. "The end of the year is not the end, nor the beginning, but a continuation."
Our world is heading in the wrong direction, it's unbelievable, sometimes maddening, how bad the situation is! How can we not be deeply affected by the suffering around us? How can we not be angry at injustices?
Do not despair, for the God of hope has not yet spoken the final word. This year awaits you with new encounters, opportunities to recharge, moments when you can express to Him all your fears, doubts, and anger. He awaits to reveal new things to you:
Jeremiah the prophet, chapter 33, verse 3: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."
He invites you to a new encounter with God the Father, to experience His love more deeply... He invites you to a new encounter with Jesus, to accompany you and help you accept your human weaknesses and limitations. To help you accept your fellow human beings without judgment. He invites you to a new encounter with the Holy Spirit, to bring about positive change in the world from within.
In this new year, meet God face to face, and allow Him to reveal those secrets and wonders that bring hope and strength for the future.
I wish you a blessed New Year for 2024, filled with beautiful encounters with God.
