All Praises to God, who has allowed us to see…2026…appear!
Yet, may I ask a question, serious and rare…
Where do we go from here?
Can we take time to think on this…sincere?
Standing before us is a pristine new year
But, how well will we digest its unknown…fare?
Will we wallow in...2025 ruts…without a veer
Or, shall we try to do better and with faith…dare?
I mean, since we all have ‘stuff’ that clutter our… 'growth’ stairs…
How long will we not…reach…for change, rather than just...peer?
Here is an opportunity to…stand, for we are heirs
And it begins with desiring it, thus…let’s choose…repair.
Ok, so, yes…even if we’ve tried before and failed, don’t despair…
Forget not Our Gracious Redeemer’s Pardon, which is always there…
Meaning; we can try again…renewing quest…for His deliverance and care.
Not easy…? I know, yet...rejecting pride and ego’s veneer…
Let’s not give-up…but humbly bow before Jehovah, completely bare…
Pleading for…His strength…to overcome negative lair.
Consider; shall we go through another 12 months, toting weakening snares…
When, with God’s help, we can discard…whatever-be…our heavy gear?
Nay…! Donning His Righteousness and His Love which is Un-compared…
Let’s rebuke doubtful thoughts which are…so contraire…
And Fly…unto His waiting arms with abandoned revere.
Wherefore, as we…deliberately…seek Him, free of fear
Let us…know, without any doubt…that in…2026 new year…
A closer walk with… Jesus, near…
Is…Where we go from here.
