Looking Forward

Looking through my new prayer journal, and looking forward as I pursue my New Years resolutions,
I chose to share a few thoughts and verses today that I hope will bless you too. 
 
Pleasant reminders I've found reading through Philippians:
Do everything without complaining...
Rejoice in the Lord!
Press toward the goal to win the prize for which God  has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Let us live up to what we have already attained. 
 
Cheery thoughts:
Corinthians 2: 9b-10, No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" -but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit
Colossians 2:6, So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Don't throw away your confidence. 
 
When I'm sad, I reread these verses:
Psalm 5:11-12, But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.  For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as a shield.
