Greetings to all members of Joynet- the Jesus Youth family. I am glad to become a part of this Christian Family. Within the few days of my enrollment I have received spiritually uplifting mails. While we keep rejoicing for having celebrated the birthday of Our Lord Jesus, we have to bring into focus as well year 2003 which is just few hours away from now.
A new year can mean so many things to so many people, but for the children of God, it must have a common meaning. Everyday gives us opportunity of inheriting our God- given inheritance, it also brings us closer to the second coming of Christ. The 365 days of each year is also to the believer a time of fulfilling his mission of existence and of glorifying the Lord through our thought, words and action. Therefore these 365 days in your 2003 should not take us far from God, instead they should bring us to a closer relationship with our God. So, as we prepare to enter this new year, we should all with boldness make our requests from God and enquire of Him of His will for us. Everyone of us should be able to set aside at least ten minutes for meditation and cross examination of our relationship with God. Everyone should be able to ask himself the following questions: 1. What are the blessings from the Lord upon me in year 2002? 2. How can I appreciate and praise the Lord? 3. What were my weaknesses in year 2002? 4. How can I overcome them in year 2003? 5. What is that sinful habit I need to drop in year 2003? 6. What do I need from the Lord in year 2003? 7. What does God want me to do for him in the year 2003? May God help us to see our failures in order to become perfect, recognize our weaknesses in order to be strong, understand His faithfulness in order to trust Him, and to serve him better by loving and serving one another.
