#OPINION Another year

I have been reflecting on my life towards the end of last year (thanks to a few holidays which allowed me to do that!). Without waiting for anyone, the planet earth is rotating and revolving constantly. And we live on the planet each day living our lives. As I was thinking about all the goals I met, tasks I completed, miles I travelled, one of my friends send me a video. It was the video of a hymn “Another Year is Dawning.” It was a touching hymn that moved my heart. It made me to realize that each year is given to us to live for God’s glory, for God’s will and God’s purpose (whatever I did, is all because of God’s grace, His grace alone!).

I hope these lyrics of the hymn written by Frances Ridley Havergal will inspire you as it inspired me.

Another year is dawning! Dear Father, let it be, in working or in waiting, another year with thee; another year of leaning upon thy loving breast, another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest.

Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace; another year of gladness in the shining of thy face; another year of progress, another year of praise, another year of proving thy presence all the days.

Another year of service, of witness for thy love; another year of training for holier work above. Another year is dawning! Dear Father, let it be on earth, or else in heaven, another year for thee.
