RE: Let go and Let God!

These last couple of days have been very difficult for me because I had to review the past year and begin planning for the next coming year that I am trusting the LORD GOD to enter by His special grace!

It has been painful, harrowing and difficult because I had listed 71 things to accomplish in 2016 and was only able to successfully do 19 out of the 71 meaning that I missed out on 52 of these great goals. The entire scenario is worsened because my sales for November and December was poor so I am sitting here looking around and wondering how poorly things has been but then deep into the review the LORD points to me that things are not as simple as they appear that I needed to calculate the entire process again using a different set of criteria different from merely looking at the figures.

God Almighty showed me that my successfully clocking 50 in October and been able to celebrate successful as I wanted counted for most of my success for the year and that this would count for about 40 percent of the goals and since I scored very high here then I really did not fail in my goal setting for the year. Also the LORD showed me that my spiritual life was on point and that most of the things I was unable to accomplish was because it was just not yet the time for me to succeed in those goals. This was very comforting to hear and I had to go into thanksgiving and praise at God's method of reviewing my year.

Perhaps you are out there and you are wondering how poorly you have performed in the year about to close my admonition is that you should not be too hard on yourself because God Almighty knows how to get us to our desired destination even when we are unable to reach our set goals for the year in view.  

Please note that 2016 was a very difficult year both home and abroad and the only reason we are here standing strong and well is because of the great grace of God Almighty so let us let go and let God as we prepare to end 2016 and enter a brand new year of open doors, enlargement and rest from all struggles.

This is not the time for wailing and mourning, this is the time for deep reflections and thanksgiving and praise to God Almighty for His great mercies and grace upon our lives in 2016.

Let us inhale and exhale and give thanks for the amazing year ahead of us in 2017.   Yes learn not to continue to make the same mistakes but it is important that we are not too hard on ourselves as we close 2016 and enter 2017 by the special grace of God Almighty.
