At the start of a new year, we come once again to thank God for His faithfulness to us and for being with us over the last year, both through our joys and through our sorrows. We thank Him for being the One who knows us completely and the One who truly understands how we feel.

God's plans for us are good - plans to give us hope and a future. At the start of this new year, we can commit our lives to God afresh and have new hope and a new start in Jesus!

​

So today let's come with thankful hearts to praise and worship the God of our salvation. Let's thank Him for His love and faithfulness to us, let's lift high the name of Jesus our Saviour and bless Him - because the Bible tells us that 'God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us' and that everyone who trust in Jesus and calls on His name will be saved. (From Romans chapters 5 & 10) and now we can truly belong to Him.
