Dear Young Christian:
Where has the year gone? They say time flies, but we’re the ones that really fly. Time keeps the same steady beat that it always has, while we rush about in this fast-paced society that seems to demand so much of us. Yes, I’m sure that for most of us, 2014 has quickly slipped by, and has been full to the brim with action and activity.
As we look back and recount the past year, hopefully we can say there has been something for the Lord amidst all the other necessary tasks. If there has been time and effort for Him and His service, then there will be fruit and blessing resulting. The Bible declares, “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” (Ecclesiastes 11:6). Be assured that, although you may not see it now, any time or energy spent for the Lord is not lost or wasted. Eternity will show the full results, if we don’t see it here in this life.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
