Covenant for the New Year

I am no longer my own, but yours.

Put me to what you will.

Place me with whom you will.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering;

Let me be employed for you or laid aside for you,

Exaulted for you or brought low for you

Let me be full, let me be empty;

Let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and heartily yield all things

To your pleasure and disposal.

And now go glorious and blessed God,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit:

You are mine and I am yours. May it be so!

Any may the covenant which I have made

here on earth

Be confirmed in heaven.

Amen

Think for a moment, my dear friends, about what God has done in your life in 2011. 

How has He made himself known?

How has He blessed you? 

How has He challenged you? 

How has He richly provided for your every need?

Now think on this new year ahead and make it your one goal to fall even deeper in love with our savior. Will you look back in a year and think about how you got to know him even better than you did in 2011?
