How did your year MEASURE up?

The end of 2011 has come and I want to leave you with a wonderful portion of scripture that stirs up excitement in my heart for the New Year. If you have time, read the entire 15th Chapter of the Gospel of John; the following words are Christ himself speaking (Amplified Version). 

John 15:9-11

⁹I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [continue in His love with Me].

    ¹⁰If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love.

    ¹¹I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing.

Happy New Year!
