This Year

This year,

I hope you choose God 

I hope you place him first 

amongst all things

I hope you trust Him 

I hope you plant faith like

mustard seeds in the

garden of your heart, 

watered daily by his word

I hope you grow your knowledge of him.

I hope you wear praise like a garment 

and wisdom, an ornament around your neck.

I hope you cover yourself in prayer like a cloak. 

I hope you break bread with brethren,

and drink wine from the vine

that flows from communion.

 

This year,

I hope you choose yourself.

I hope you let go.

I hope you heal. 

I hope you stretch forth. 

I hope you really believe 

you can do all things

through Christ.

I hope you find your passion. 

I hope you’re swift and bold.

I hope you’re slow. 

I hope you rest

body and soul.

I hope you’re anxious 

for nothing.

I hope you give yourself grace.

I hope you smile, no laugh

a lot.

I hope you get to love 

who you are becoming.

This year,

I hope you choose God

in this new beginning, 

For he is the beginning 

and the end.

And He already chose you.
