The Promise of Spring
Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone.—Zechariah 10:1 (NIV)
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.—Revelation 22:13 (NIV)
AS YOU END the chapter of this year, be assured that God is infinitely present at every point in your life. He is the Beginning and the End, the One who is faithful all year long. Because of this fact, you can look ahead with expectation and hope, knowing God’s perfect love waits for you in every tomorrow.
Heavenly Father, as one year flows into the next, Your love is ever-present helping me to let go of the past and joyfully look ahead to the future.
